Quilt Invitational
The 2008 GHQF theme is "Fishing for A Cure" and we are proud to host a quilt invitational by local artists. The twenty-six quilts that were recieved will be displayed in various Gig Harbor locations this summer. They will be featured as a complete exhibit at the Civic Center, 3150 Grandview Street, Gig Harbor, WA 98335 (253-851-8136) from August 26 through October 2, 2008, with an artists' reception open to the public at that location on September 9, from 6:00PM - 8:00 PM.

Each quilt will be auctioned at the October 11, 2008 luncheon at Canterwood Golf and Country Club, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local breast cancer charities.

We always welcome volunteers and donations of money or goods and services for the silent auction! Watch the website for further details or contact us if you have questions:
