The Northern Shenandoah Valley Quilt Show
That's a wrap!
Our 2024 quilt show was the biggest ever! We "took over" the entire Parks & Rec building which enabled us to add more quilts, more vendors, a quieter space for demonstrations, space to have a special exhibit honoring local quilt legend, Margie Hockman, space to award quilts to local vetrans through QUilts of Valor...more everything!
Our efforts were rewarded with a paid attendance total of 1747 adults! This does not include children (who were mesmeried by the quilts), honored guests, sponsors, and volunteers.
We give heartfelt thanks to all who came to our show, to the staff at the Clarke County Parks & Rec for being so helpful, to our sponsors (check them out at the bottom of the page), to the families of the committee members whose lives revolved around the show for four days straight, to all of our volunteers, to our awesome vendors....the list goes on and on.
Our show truly is a community effort - it brings our local quilters together for the common purpose of showcasing the talents and creativity that they have perfected in a dazzling display of artistry.

Winner: Love of Baltimore
Made by Sandy Sperry
"I have always loved Baltimore Album quilts and applique. This was on my quilting bucket list for a long time. I bought the pattern that was a fundraiser while at a quilt show years ago. It took me 10 years to make it, but it is well worth it! Each quilt block had it's own challenge and I believe my skills improved over time."
