What is

Block-a-palooza?

Get Ready to Sew, Collect Passport Stamps, and Support Charity Quilts!

Block-a-palooza is an exciting event that brings together ten quilt shops from across Iowa to celebrate the art of quilting while supporting a charitable cause. Participants are invited to showcase their quilting skills by completing a Log cabin heart block to receive stamps in a passport. Ten blocks and ten stamps and you will be entered to win prizes that will make any quilter’s heart skip a beat.
