Okay, I can't promise you will get your hair styled like I did by Jay McCarroll, but hey!
Well, look at the schedule of events and maybe you can start to understand what I mean:
This annual fundraising event, now in it’s 6th year in the Big Apple, is a weekend-long series featuring a full-day event at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and evening cocktail party on Saturday, as well as Friday and Sunday tours of the Garment District, area museums, workshops and a Broadway outing.
The Main Event at FIT includes a full day of lectures, interviews, vendors, an exhibition of quilts, trunk shows, and the Quilt Match Manhattan quilt design challenge. QTM 2016 will be held September 23-25 with Main Event speakers Kaffe Fassett and Dr. Carolyn L. Mazloomi, and emcee Mary Fons.
Plus, you will be in New York! Do you know how great it is to be in NYC in September? Well, it is pretty wonderful, let me tell you. We have so many add-on events: walking tours, a cocktail party, and even a Broadway outing (and no it isn't to Hamilton: we are good but not THAT good).
If you leave a comment here or on any of the participating blogs on this hop you become eligible for a drawing!

Love QTM. Wish I could be there. Winning the Home Ticket would be the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteThe event sounds fabulous. Wish I could attend. Hope I win the Home Ticket.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit NYC for this event, sound like a lot of fun. Thanks for the giveaway. grinnie1961 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI am so excited as I will be going this year for 1 day. Would love to win the home ticket as I'm sure it's hard to see it all.
ReplyDeleteThe event sounds amazing! This is the first year I've heard of it and oh so wish I were a part of the past years! Alas, I won't be there in person this year either, but I am following along, blog hopping, and will be purchasing my very own Home Ticket! Winning another would be just an added bonus of goodies I can share with friends! My wish for the Alliance this year is to triple their fund raising from last year! Best Wishes!
ReplyDeleteThat is my wish, too. The money raised is used to support our mission of documentation of quilt makers and their stories.
DeleteThis event sounds so exciting! I would love to attend some day. NYC is the place to be, and I'd love to go back one day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear kaffe fassett speak-- I love all his fabric, books and patterns

ReplyDeleteAttending a major quilt show is on my bucket list! Just to mingle with like-minded people among all those gorgeous quilts and fabrics would take my breath away!
ReplyDeleteManhattan is already a fun place to be. Add a quilt event to that and that is a recipe for immense fun. I would have loved to hear Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi and Kaffe Fasset speak but alas I will not.
