The 2026 Minnesota Quilt Show is looking for volunteers and right now we’re a little short on helping hands. From admissions, set-up to special events, there’s a place for everyone to help the show come together.

Because when it comes to putting on a quilt show this big… 🎵 “I get by with a little help from my friends…” 🎵

Volunteering is a great way to meet fellow quilters, be part of the excitement and help create an unforgettable event for our community. Many hands truly do make light work.

🎵 “All you need is love”… and maybe a volunteer shift or two 🎵

**New kit alert!**

Garden Rose Pillow Kit
Sew with Tilda Fabrics in a selection of beautiful solids to create this optical illusion. Carefully combined small squares evoke the simplicity of cross stitch embroidery patterns of old. Piece together, step back, and it is suddenly a beautiful rose.

Floral Formation Quilt Kit
The Floral & Form Collection by Essoldo Design is the inspiration for this 42" x 49" quilt designed by Wendy Sheppard. Using half-sqare triangles, create this cozy and modern quilt in a flash. Stop into the shop to see the sample in person or order on-line to get started.
