Quilt Show

The 15th Annual Quilt Show - 2025

The Quilt Show was held at the El Pueblo History Museum from Thursday, April 3rd, thru Sunday, April 13th.  New this year - the Museum is Open on Sundays!  We hosted 1324 visitors over the 11 days.

The Opening Reception, held on Thursday for our Featured Quilter Mary Kay Witte, was well attended.  Guests were invited to vote for their favorite of Mary Kay's many items - My English Flower Garden was the Viewer's Choice.  The Featured Corner displayed seven of her quilts and many smaller projects, showcasing the attention to detail she is known for.  Two additional quilts could be found throughout the Show in general, plus her Mystery Quilt was one of 15 in that display in the International Gallery.

This year we again hosted a Speaker.  Holly Bailey from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum gave a terrific presentation on "Quilt Care and Restoration".  This free program was presented on the first Saturday of the Show, April 5th.

Our 2025 Show had 120 entries, not including the many items in the Featured Quilter display.  We displayed 118 quilts from 65 quilters; most of the quilters are members of at least one of the ten guilds or sewing groups represented, with a few who are unaffiliated with a group.

The annual Pride City Quilt Guild Bucket Raffle, with 11 different items, was near the front doors - as always, tickets were $1 each or 6 for $5.  Visitors could choose which item(s) they wished to win by placing their ticket in the respective bucket.  The drawing for these items was held on Monday, April 14th at 1:00p.
