Celebrating the Art of Quilting

Theme and Challenge

2025 Quilt Show Theme: Celebrating the Art of Quilting

You’re invited to the party. We’re celebrating the art of quilting in all its various forms—quilts, table runners, garments, wall hangings…Pieced, appliquéd, fused, new designs, old designs, straight, curvy, quiet, loud…It’s going to be a fun time celebrating all things quilted and the artists behind them. Come be inspired and celebrate with us September 12-13, 2025!

2025 Quilt Show Challenge: Celebrating Quilts with Curves

Any quilt or quilted garment made predominantly of curved pieces or the appearance of curves may be entered in this category. There is a wide array of traditional and modern quilt patterns or you may make your own design! Some examples are drunkard’s path, curved log cabin, wedding ring, curved appliqué, improvisational curves, etc. Quilts/garments will be judged by the show judge and by the quilt show committee. The committee will base its choice on how well the curved theme was imagined and carried out, as well as how well its story describes the item. The story should include why you chose to make the quilt or garment and its meaning to you.

2025 Special Exhibit

Celebrating Quilts that Shout

 Have you ever made a quilt that “shouts” through its use of color and/or design? This special exhibit will celebrate our bright and colorful quilts and quilted garments. (Think Kaffe Fassett, Tula Pink, or similar designers.)

Plan to complete the Special Exhibit Entry Form and have a picture of your quilt or garment to enter it in the Special Exhibit. We will use the same timeline as the regular quilt show for entries and photos. Entering a quilt in the special exhibit does not keep you from entering it in a future show as these quilts will not be judged. You may also enter a quilt that has been in a previous show. Vickie Phelps is over the Special Exhibit and will be glad to answer any questions you have. We hope you will join in the celebration of colorful quilts.
