THE 2024 QUILT SHOW WAS AWESOME!

Thanks to everyone that helped make this show such a success.

The 2024 Quilt Show was held in Queeny Park at the Greensfelder Recreation Center on March 23rd and 24th. Over 1400 quilt lovers attended the show throughout the two days, in addition members of the St. Modern Quilt Guild were in attendance either working or just communing with the quilts. We want to thank everyone that attended, without you we simply could not put on this event.

Over 350 quilts were displayed, with 326 being a part of the juried show. Other quilts were shown as either part of special exhibitions or as part of vendor booths; which we loved. It’s not possible to have too many quilts.

Attendees voted on their favorites in each of the thirteen categories.
