The Northern Shenandoah Valley Quilt Show
Closed
Registration is now
UPDATE 1/13/2026:
We asked for your quilt registrations and you answered! We have run the calculations, spent hours placing quilts according to their width, and we are full. We never anticipated that our space would be maxxed out after only 10 days, this has never, ever happened before in the history of our show. If you were not able to enter your quilt, we are so sorry that we won't get to see it hanging at our show.
We cannot wait until the show opens! In the meantime, if you entered quilts, please make sure you are getting your quilt/s ready. Each one must have a 4" hanging sleeve at the top and a label on the back, lower left corner. Keep your eyes peeled for an important email coming from the registrar as the show draws closer. Have any questions? Check the Rules and FAQs for the answers!

"Heart of a Glacier"
Our 2026 raffle quilt was made by one of our supporting groups, Apple Valley Needle Threaders. They chose a rainbow of fabrics to highlight our show theme "Kaleidoscope of Color". This quilt is 92" x 92". The pattern was used with permission by designer Laureen Smith.​ Tickets are available via our ticket sponsors: the Scrappy Apple Quilts and More in Winchester and WebFabrics in Purcellville. Tickets can also be purchased from our friendly committee members, at area fairs, or shows during the coming year, and, of course, at our show April 10-12, 2026.

Grants
Additionally, our show is partially supported by funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, and the town of Berryville, Virginia.
This year we are honored to receive a grant from the Bank of Clarke Foundation, who, like us, has a core value of giving back to their community.
We are deeply appreciative of the support from all of these grantors, as they help us in our endeavor to highlight and promote the art of quilting in our community.
