A vision of summer: Quilts swaying in the breeze on a day of warm July sun, situated in some of the
finest gardens in the waterfront community of Mukilteo. Mukilteo Garden & Quilt Tour is coming to town
for its third biennial display of quilts in gardens. This year’s show will showcase over 100 handmade
contemporary quilts across eight gardens in Mukilteo, including six residences and two public gardens.
Please join us for this self-directed driving tour. After two previous shows that attracted over 500
attendees, the show is becoming better known among quilt and garden enthusiasts, and the general
public who are out for an tranquil day of strolling through gardens.

the Seattle-Everett Area for $12, or $15 if purchased on the day of the Tour, July 16th. Children under 12
