Bonham, Texas -- Tour the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site this Quilt Hop to see historic quilts and learn how to quilt a potholder! We will participate in the Bonham Quilt Hop on July 25 and July 26 from 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. each day.
The first-floor quilt display areas of the Sam Rayburn House will be free to tour on these days. The Sam Bell Maxey House State Historic Site has loaned us four of their historic quilts for display. If you cannot attend the Quilt Hop, we will have these quilts on display from mid-July to mid-August, and you can see them as part of our house tour (regular hours and prices apply).
For anyone interested in learning some quilting basics, we will offer a quilting lesson during the Quilt Hop. With the purchase of one of our Beginning Quilting Kits from our site store and an additional $5.00 fee for the lesson, you can learn how to quilt a potholder for a total cost of $20.14. These lessons will be available on both days while supplies last and on a first-come, first-served basis.
We are just one of many stops along this year’s Quilt Hop. If you’re new to the area, the Quilt Hop may be the perfect way to learn about quilts, make some new friends, and discover Bonham!
