Upcoming Events in 2016 & 2017

Here at Holloways, we are always busy working due to the events we have every year... This year we are even busier as we are now a part of Wilderness Wildlife week in Pigeon Forge. We just finished up Pigeon Forge, A Mountain quiltfest last month. It was a ton of fun! We enjoyed helping Ro Gregg and Patti Carey teach about different techniques and trends in the fabric business.

The girls at the shop have been busy getting ready for our next event, Wilderness Wildlife week.  Maria will be teaching some beginner quilting classes and will have a booth during the event. Wilderness Wildlife week is May 18th- May 22nd in the Le Conte Center in pigeon Forge. Admission is FREE! Wilderness Wildlife Week has a variety of programs for all ages and different interests, ranging from programs specifically for the youngsters to guided hikes for the more adventurous folks. The programs will be offered from around 8:00 AM until around 7:30 PM daily. For more information click here: http://www.mypigeonforge.com/events/wilderness-wildlife-week/

Maria's Quilt Lover's Challenge

At Pigeon Forge Mountain Quiltfest we announced an exciting opportunity for the creative quilter in you all!!!  Maria is hosting her very own challenge featuring some of Ro Gregg's fabrics for Paintbrush Studios.

Maria's Quilt Lover's Challenge is open to quilters of all levels.  Simply buy a kit, complete your one of a kind quilt, and return to Holloway's for display and judging.

Each kit contains your entry form and a label for your quilt.

Kits are $12 (plus tax & shipping) and also include 4 fat quarters.

Here's the kicker!!!  Have you ever heard of a challenge where you can enter twice?
No?  Well, now you have!  Maria is offering her kits in two different colorways.  You can choose either of the kits for your challenge or you can choose to do one of each.  Just remember that the fabrics from each kit cannot be mixed to meet your minimum fabric requirement.

Brights (Marblehead)

Floral (Bella)

Complete rules for the challenge are included in the kit.  Basics are a maximum of 120" perimeter (e.g. 30x30) and 30% of the fabric must be challenge fabrics.

The Grand Prize includes a two night stay at our Our Quilters Inn for you and up to 6 of your friends plus a $300 gift certificate to the shop.  Each of your guests will also receive a $20 gift certificate.

2nd Prize is a $200 gift certificate plus 25 fat quarters from Ro Gregg (Paintbrush Studios)

3rd, 4th, & 5th prize will be 20 fat quarters from Ro Gregg and a pair of Maria's Quilter Socks.
