What's on in 2020?
Given that our normal quilt competition can’t go ahead this year, we didn’t want you to miss out, so we are building an online Quilt Competition for year 2020. Read on for more info on how to enter and get quilting!
Virtual Competitions in 2020
Be inspired by work from leading international textile artists and museum collections in our 2022 Textile Gallery. Including works from: Danny Amazonas, Sarah Hibbert, European Quilt Association, and more.
The Fine Art Textiles Award (FATA) recognises the creative talents and skills of a broad community of high-calibre textile artists and celebrates textiles’ rightful place amongst high art.
The FOQ Quilt Competition is open for entries! The competition aims to promote and encourage all aspects of patchwork, quilting and applique to enable quiltmakers at all levels to exhibit their work. As such, the competitions are an integral part…
You’ll find unbeatable shopping opportunities with exhibitors selling fabric, thread, wadding, fat quarters, sewing machines & more! You won’t be going home empty handed!
What People Say
The artistry was amazing; there are some very talented quilters out there. It has given me the urge to become more creative with my time behind my sewing machine. Congratulations on what I'm sure will be a sell out of a show.
It was so good we visited the festival twice! For anyone that enjoys crafts, sewing, quilting or interested in having a go, I would strongly suggest going along and having a great day out. 10/10
Absolutely incredible works of art! Feel honoured to have seen these quilts close up - Superb!
I spent two very happy days at The Festival of Quilts, the ambiance was incredible, and there was enough room between the stalls to move easily, the quilts were fantastic, and everyone I spoke to were saying it was the best one ever, a wonderful day!
My daughter and I paid our first visit on Friday... We were totally blown away by the quilts on display and had a fantastic time shopping too. Will definitely return next year. Thank you so much for all the hard work in putting on such a magnificent show!
Fantastic show with lots to see, do and buy! Made all the more special with my daughter winning the Young Quilter of the year (5-8 years). Will be back next year!
