Quilt show back for another year in a free online format

Join PBS Wisconsin and Nancy Zieman Productions, for the virtual 2021 Great Wisconsin Quilt Show from Sept. 9-11. Event organizers were overwhelmed by the positive and record-setting participation during last year’s virtual show.

As a result, organizers will again offer a safe, digital event to unite and engage the quilting community. It will include live, interactive educational opportunities from leading experts, a virtual vendor mall and more.

The show will feature photo gallery exhibits of this year’s quilt challenges: The Panel Quilt Challenge, The 100 Years of Art Deco Quilt Challenge, The Modern Mini Quilt Challenge and The Kids’ Quilt Challenge.

Also celebrated, will be the talents of community quilters with a curated showcase of previous years’ quilt contest winners. The full contest will be featured as a special ex- hibit when the event returns to the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, for the 2022 in-person show.

This year’s special exhibit, “Racism: In the Face of Hate We Resist,” is presented by Textile Center and Women of Color Quilters Network.

Leading up to the quilt show, participants can join in a community service project, Quilt to Give, and add to the Virtual Community Quilt, hosted by 4-H. Details can be found online at quiltshow.com/community-projects.

Donations are encouraged, including monetary gifts and donations to this year’s online auction.

All quilt lovers are invited to draw inspiration, and delight from each other in this online and interactive experience.
