PLEASE JOIN US for our annual studio tour. Members of our guild open their home studios for others to see and enjoy. We have 5 studios this year of all different types and sizes all located here in the greater Sacramento area. We truly believe that all of the driving will be well worth your efforts. For those of you that visit each studio and get your tickets stamped, you will be eligible to win a nice gift basket with quilting and sewing supplies. There will be quite a distance between some of the studios. It would be advisable that you have some sort of alternative mapping system with you — either a Thomas Guide or print maps from an online pro-gram, such as: Mapquest or Google Maps. You may begin at any house you choose. Look for the balloons. (PDF)

Directions: See below. (PDF).
Pick any location to begin your tour and purchase a ticket that will be stamped at each location. Filled tickets will be eligible to win a door prize raffle.
