Hop on the bus—we’re heading to
Reno
for a sewist’s day out! Our destinations include
Quilt Show Reno
and
Mill End Fabrics
.
We’ll be attending the 23
rd
annual Quilt Show Reno. The event is known to feature local and national quilt artists as well as a large vendor mall. There are daily prize drawings and a chance to win Grand Prizes every day. The event is held at the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino.
We’ll also visit Mill End Fabrics. A family-owned shop for over 50 years, Mill Ends is one of the largest fabric shops in the western US.
Enjoy touring the quilt show and vendor mall then treat yourself to lunch at the casino. Mill End Fabrics is less than 2 miles away and will be our second stop. We’ll have plenty of time to shop before heading back down the hill to home.
