Exhibits

Quilts.
Approximately 200 hand-made quilts from guild members and regional quilters form the heart of the show. On display you will find quilts that range from wall-hangings to king-sized bed quilts and from traditional to modern to  innovative art. All attendees are invited to vote for their favorites to contribute to Viewers Choice Award selection.

Wearable Art. Unique quilted clothing (pieced or appliquéd) on mannequins will welcome you to the show.

Soft Sculpture has been a favorite with visitors since it debuted at the 25th anniversary show in 2001 including dolls, stuffed animals, and other items. 

Youth Quilts. We encourage young quilters through outreach activities in the school and elsewhere. 

Guild Activities. Items from charitable and creative projects are on display.

Featured Artist. Tracy McLellan will be the Featured Artist in the 2019 show, with a display of bird quilts based on her photographs.​

Demos and Trunk Shows

Demonstrations.
 Guild members will share tips and techniques for beginning and more advanced quilters on a first come-first served basis. A schedule will be provided once the list has been finalized.

Quilt Turning. Enjoy beautiful vintage or antique quilts while learning about their history and construction as each quilt is displayed then turned down on the bed to reveal the next stunning quilt.  If you have a quilt you can loan us to show at the quilt turning, please download and fill in this form.  Contact Tracy or Nancy about your quilt.

Other Trunk Shows. We are still planning additional trunk shows. Further details will be provided when they are finalized.
