:

We invite all of you to join us for a memorable event in the historic district of Davenport.
Our rural atmosphere adds to the charm of our 7th Annual Quilts and Tea Festival.  You may choose to display your quilts or fiber arts inside or use Florida's great outdoors for  your venue.  Vendors will be located inside and out, as will be vintage vehicles and tea related foods.  Carriage and wagon rides will also return this year.

NEW for our 2008 event will be Youth Quilters,  Quilted Post Cards,  displays and the Quilt Guild Market Place.

We have chosen a theme of "Florida Remembered" for out 8th annual festival.

Due to growing pains we need more space for displays and vendors, so we have chosen to use Florida’s great outdoors as one of our venues. A variety of quilts and demonstrations will be displayed throughout the festival. Visit these exhibits and appreciate the many hours and handiwork in each of theses quilts.

Vendors and demonstrations will be located throughout the historic district. Davenport is a friendly town, so enjoy our festival and be sure to attend our next quilt show or other special events.
