CLEARWATER - Quilter's Crossing will present its 10th bi-annual quilt show March 3 and 4, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Countryside Recreation Center, 2840 Sabal Springs Drive in Clearwater. The theme of the show is "Quilting Under the Palms." The event will feature quilts, 2006 Hoffman challenge, door prizes, huge boutique, small quilt auction, wearable/quilting art, vendor mall quilt appraiser and demonstrations.
