Walla Walla Valley

Quilt Festival

We're On the Move!

We were bursting at the seams at St. Pat's! So, starting in 2008, we will hold our festival at the Walla Walla Fairgrounds. We'll be bigger and better, with more vendors, more challenges, more quilts, and more workshops. Join us from September 19-21, 2008.

 

The Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival is an annual celebration of quilting and quilters. A non-profit organization, it was founded in 1999 with the following goals as its vision:

 

bullet Promote public awareness and appreciation for the art or quilting and recognition of its heritage.
bullet Provide educational quilting opportunities
bullet Celebrate the social function of quilting
bullet Encourage people to visit the Walla Walla Valley

The main activity of the Festival Guild is the Festival itself, taking place in late September each year. This multi-faceted event includes a downtown quilt walk, featuring displays in almost all the merchants' windows of beautiful quilts fashioned by local artisans. The weekend brings a huge exhibition with displays of quilts, one or more featured quilters, classes, contests, silent auctions, and a vendor mall.

There is something for everyone at the festival, whether you help with the planning and set-up, help sponsor the show with a contribution, volunteer during the show, enter the quilt challenge, or just come and enjoy the beauty of the quilts.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the 2007 Festival the best yet. We'll see you in September, 2008!! In the meantime, check back often to see our updates.
