Plans are in the works for another great Quilt Hop & Fiber Arts Show in Bonham on Friday & Saturday, July 24 & 25, 2026.  In honor of the United States turning 250 years old, we are planning to have a patriotic, red, white and blue theme. 

The Creative Arts Center is proud to be one of the stops on the Quilt Hop. There will be around a dozen sites in all.
