Fall festivals are great fun to attend and view as summer comes to a close. It is a time to gather with friends for various quilting exhibits and gatherings. Families spend time out on the deck or in the yard as the evenings become cooler. As the colors change and the weather cools down, it seems that outdoor activities come to life at the beginning of Fall.

Fall festivals are a terrific way to show off your quilting treasures. Now is the time to check your local area for upcoming events if you haven’t already done so. Not only are there some terrific festivals, many communities are in high gear for local fairs.

Not only are Fall festivals and fairs fun they are a great way to harvest new ideas for your future quilting projects. Take a camera with you to events so that you can photograph other quilts. You will be amazed at how many new ideas you can get just from viewing the quilt work at the Fall festivals and events.

Another fun thing about Fall festivals is the chance to meet other quilters. This is a great chance to enjoy the great outdoors, try out some festival food and make new friends. Take the time to find out about festivals and fairs in your area to really enjoy some Fall family fun as the summer unwinds and comes to a close.
