IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM QBL
Wells College Announces It Is Closing. Search for New QBL Venue in Progress
On Mon. April 29, 2024, we awoke to the news that Wells College would close following the end of the spring semester. Today we have confirmed that Wells will not be hosting QBL this summer. As of June 30, 2024, Wells College will officially be closed. This is a devastating loss for the Wells College community and for Quilting by the Lake.
Effective immediately we are searching for an alternate site for QBL 2024. We will post any news on our website. We are working hard to find a suitable location. Stay tuned for updates.
