STAGE DEMONSTRATION DETAILS


CRACKERJACK SHACK FASHION SHOW

The Modest is Hottest Fashion Show is coming to the Round Bobbin Springfield Quilting and Sewing Expo!
Born out of a frustration with a culture that wants our kids to grow up a little too fast, and a refusal to accept fashion rules determined by pop culture icons, the custom boutique industry has taken the fashion world and turned it on its head! Thousands of fashion forward designers and seamstresses have developed this grass-roots industry to meet the demands of even more fashion conscience moms, aunts, and grandmothers who are on the search for trendy, yet age-appropriate, clothing for kids. If you've had the same frustrations with the skimpy and mundane choices retailers are offering the kids in your life, then skip the mall and plan to attend the Modest is Hottest Fashion Show! It's sure to be a hit! DETAILED PHOTOS


Thanking Our Troops
View the "God Bless America Touring Quilts" exhibit
Round Bobbin has arranged to have this beautiful collection of patriotic quilts displayed at the Expo. Pictured below are just a few of the quilts that will be exhibited. These 22" quilts will tour the USA for 18 months with the other 220 "God Bless America Touring Quilts" and then will be auctioned. The proceeds from the auction will benefit non-profit groups who make quilts for wounded soldiers and families of the fallen. MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT. Further details about submitting a quilt for this exhibit are available at Heavenly Patchwork's website .
