Displays
It’s never too late to start a new quilt, large or small! The Park’s annual quilt collection is contributed by local quilters like you, creating a non-judged exhibition for enthusiasts to showcase their latest creations. All quilts, with a minimum perimeter size of 60 inches are welcome. We ask that you exclude delicate embellishments that are easily damaged. The Festival committee makes display decisions based on safety and style, with a limit of five quilts per participant across General, Group, and Special Displays. Join us in sharing your quilting artistry and contributing to a vibrant community event. Scroll down to learn about the different quilt categories and submit your quilt entry!
Quilter of Distinction 2024
In honor of Heritage Park’s 60th anniversary, the Festival of Quilts recognizes the dedicated service of its committee members. Instead of an individual Quilter of Distinction, this year celebrates the collective contributions of hard-working women who have volunteered over 40,000 hours in 25 years. The exhibit highlights each member’s passion for quilting and their volunteer achievements. Members will choose a symbolic quilt representing their identity and achievements, showcasing the power of a united group with a shared passion. The park expresses gratitude to all committee members for personifying the spirit of the Quilter of Distinction, with the traditional process resuming in 2025.
