"Pieces of the Heart"

2026 Quilt Show

October 15 - 17

St. Gianna's Father Elliott Hall, 450 East Hwy N, Wentzville, MO.

https://www.crossroadsartscouncil.org/event/quilt-show-2026-1/

Needed for the quilt show:

  • People to help with set up on the 14th.
  • People to take money at the door Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
  • People to take down and fold quilts on Saturday.
  • Quilts for the bed turning. 
  • Entries for all categories.
  • Category sponsors: $200 for each category.
  • Items for the Holiday Boutique


New this year, we will have a fashion show. You get a chance to show off and model something you have made to wear out of an old quilt, or using a quilt pattern.

Let's have fun with this.


Celebrate America 250 with us. This year for the challenge quilt category, we are not selling kits. We are asking you to use RED, WHITE and BLUE fabric from your stash to help celebrate America's 250th birthday. Finished quilt size stays the same: between 12'” x 12" and 20" x 20". No glitter, no lace, rickrack or beading on the outside edge, and no hanging sleeves. Finished quilts must have a front, batting, and a back. Instead of paying $5 for the kit, you pay $5 to enter your piece.
