This popular and FREE event is held during ByronFest, and last year’s visitors were treated a viewing of 70 quilts and textiles! The quilts cover a range of styles and time periods, some dating back to the 1850s. In addition to traditional quilts, our show includes wearable art, wall hangings, and other quilted textiles.

The Quilt Show opens for viewers on Friday, July 10th and closes on Sunday, July 13th. The entry date for our Quilt Show is Wednesday, July 8th from 2-7pm, so please don’t pass up this opportunity to show off your beautiful work!

This show is judged by a regional quilt expert, and cash prizes are awarded to the 1st place winner in each category. Categories include Quilts, Wall Hangings, 1st Quilt/Wall Hanging, Youth, and Quilted Clothing/Wearable Art. Entry in the show is $5 per item, or free for Just for Show (entries not judged).
