The artists’ quilts will be displayed in various Gig Harbor locations over the course of the year. They will be featured as a complete exhibit at the Civic Center, 3510 Grandview Street, Gig Harbor, WA 98335 (253-851-8136) from September 1st through September 30th, 2010.

Gig Harbor Quilt Festival introduces an exciting new item. It's a gorgeous 2010 calendar featuring the work of the 25 quilt artists who were invited to create and donate small quilts interpreting the theme "Fishing for a Cure." These quilts were auctioned at the 2008 Luncheon and Auction. This calendar will be for sale at the 2009 event. Thank you to Jane Moxey for coordinating this calendar. The quilt photographs are by Susan Burnett of Memories Forever Photography and was designed and printed by DPI Print/Digital Packaging in Gig Harbor.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made the 2009 event the success that it was. We raised over $20,000, which will all go to our breast cancer charities.

Funds from the 2009 Quilt Festival were distributed to these local health programs: Breast Cancer Resource Center ($15,000), MultiCare Health Foundation – Women Get It Program ($5,000), Franciscan HealthSystem – Low Income Mammogram Fund ($5,000), and Harmony Hill Retreat Center ($700). The purpose of these funds is to provide free mammograms and to allow for patient referrals for further care should there be a need.
