2008 Quilt Shop Tour RESULTS!

The seventh annual Central Coast Quilt Shoop Tour was held June 6 - 8, 2008 as more than 800 quilters traveled the California Coast, visiting twelve quilt shops located from Carpinteria to Paso Robles. The weather this year was amazing! Each morning began with very cool temperatures and warmed as the day progressed. It was quite breezy in some places but the Quilters persisted!

Our thanks to everyone who came out for the Tour. We hope you had a good time and will come visit again. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and to be able to show off our shops to you. More than 450 participants completed the 2008 Central Coast Quilt Shop Tour and turned in their Tour Passport.

On the Monday following the Quilt Shop Tour, all of the shop owners met in Orcutt to draw the winning names for our top prizes.

You can help improve the Tour! Just complete our short online survey. You won't be bothered with any email. It's completely anonymous so you can tell us anything -- good or bad! Just click on the link at the top of the page.

For now, we know you want to know the important issues, like...
