Quilters and quilt lovers have their plans all sewn up for this weekend because the 2014 Bonham Quilt Hop began Friday, July 25 and continues Saturday, July 26.
The event kicked off Friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. with quilt displays at eight locations around Bonham, showcasing historic, antique, and contemporary quilts, including quilts from the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.
Visitors will also have a chance to shop in the vendor area, see demonstrations on new quilting techniques and projects, or play a round of Fat Quarter Bingo.
