Rim Country Quilt Roundup

In Payson, November 3 & 4

The 16th Rim Country Quilt Roundup is returning to Payson on Friday and Saturday, November 3 & 4. The event is being held at the Exhibition Hall in the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino on Highway 87 at milepost 251. 

This is a premier regional show featuring a large display of quilts and fabric art from across the Southwest. Quilters are encouraged to enter the show and the deadline is October 15.

Rim Country Quilt Roundup will feature a large Vendor Mall, Vendor Shop Hop, free Daily Demos and Daily Door Prizes. Special Exhibits will include Award-Winning quilts from Local Rim Country artists, as well as a display of extraordinary fiber art from The Threadplayers.

On Friday afternoon, a free lecture will be given by Gina Perkes. Gina is an author, designer, creator and international educator who promotes the art of quilt making. She will also be teaching classes for an additional fee.

Show hours are 9am to 5pm on Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturday. Bring a non-perishable food item for the local Food Bank and get a ticket for a daily drawing.

Payson is called the “Gateway to the Rim Country” as it lies just below the Mogollon Rim in North Central Arizona in the world’s largest stand of Ponderosa Pinetrees. Come enjoy a unique quilting getaway in a location that offers something for everyone…golfing, fishing, Zane Grey Country, quaint shops, games at the Casino or just take it easy and enjoy the beautiful sights.
