Quilt Angels Needed

If you are interested in helping us show off our wonderful quilts, you may volunteer to be a quilt angel. You will gently handle the quilts as a "White Glove" guardian, protecting the quilts from being touched by eager fingers and showing them to visitors who want to see the back or check out the details. Three hours earns you a Shipshewana Quilt Festival 2012 pin. You need no special qualifications; you just need to be a quilt lover! To volunteer, check the Quilt Angel space on your Event Enrollment Form. We must receive your form by May 1, 2012 in order to be eligible. The Shipshewana Quilt Festival will contact you if you are selected.
