The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show will welcome quilting enthusiasts to the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Sept. 7-9, 2023. The event hosts quilt lovers from across Wisconsin and throughout the United States to create, learn about and celebrate quilts.

Presented by PBS Wisconsin and Nancy Zieman Productions, The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show is the ultimate adventure for quilters of all skill levels.

The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show’s central attraction is the 10-category juried and judged Quilt Contest exhibit, showcasing the incredible talents of quilters from across the country. Featured quilts range from traditional sizes and shapes to innovative pictorial quilts.

Additional exhibits featured at the event showcase other quilt challenges completed by Great Wisconsin Quilt Show participants, including the Modern Mini Quilt Challenge, the Kids Quilt Challenge and a themed quilt challenge. This year’s theme — “Back in 1973” — takes quilters back in time. All quilts must represent the fashion, pop culture, music, art, decorating styles, colors, kid’s toys and/or quilt designs from 50 years ago.

The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show also includes more than 100 educational lectures and workshops led by expert quilters; shopping opportunities from trusted vendors, featuring the latest fabrics and notions; and a community service project — Quilt to Give — in which attendees donate their materials and skills to create quilts for those in need.

Visit quiltshow.com for more information. Ticket sales and class registration open July 10, 2023.
