Painting downtown with quilts! The Twin Falls Historic Downtown Business Improvement District is sponsoring the Quilt Walk. Many of the local businesses will be displaying quilts in and outside of their shops.
There will be lots of vendors and activities going on in the Historic Down Town area. There will also be Demos at many of the stores and vendor booths and live music at Rudy’s on Friday evening.
We also have two of the Hoffman Challenge Trunk Shows coming for our Quilt Walk. They will be on display at Stitchin’ Time during the Quilt Walk. One of the trunks is Clothing & Accessories and contains 37 items, the other is a Quilt Trunk and contains 40 quilts. All of these items were judged for the finals for the 2009 Hoffman Challenge, accepted for the Trunk Shows, and are being sent across the nation for display. Be sure to stop by and see Stephanie Van Diest’s jacket which is included in the Clothing & Accessory Trunk.
Some of the Laughing Daisy Neighborhood Market Vendors will also be in Twin Falls for the Quilt Walk. You will be able to enjoy a wonderful selection of handmade and homegrown goods. Food, plants, jewelry, furniture and more! If you’ve had a chance to visit it in Kimberly, we know you are going to love it in Twin!
