The Amador Valley Quilters are set to showcase their members’ talents, techniques and favorite local vendors at their annual quilt show this weekend in Livermore.

The main exhibit at “Quilted Treasures XVIII: Together Again” will feature more than 200 colorful quilts made by AVQ members, a mix of traditional, artistic, modern and challenge quilts, according to organizers.
The two-day show will also include quilting and crafting supply vendor booths, along with a long-arm quilting machine demonstration, a special opportunity quilt raffle of “Yosemite Falls” by Linda Schmidt, individual raffle baskets and a Marty’s Joint food truck, AVQ reps said.
A special presentation will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, with AVQ member and U.S. Army veteran Beth Taylor set to receive a Quilt of Valor.
The nationwide program seeks to “cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor,” and the local group has presented 968 quilts to male and female military veterans in the Tri-Valley to date, according to AVQ.
“Quilted Treasures XVIII” is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (June 23) and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday (June 23) at Trinity Church Livermore at 557 Olivina Ave. Tickets available at the door will cost $10 for general admission (with kids 12 years old and younger free).
