2026 Minnesota Quilt Show Celebrates National Talent, Sustainability and Quilting for a Cause
St. Cloud, Minnesota — June 11–13, 2026
Minnesota Quilters invites quilting enthusiasts to the 2026 Minnesota Quilt Show, a premier annual event celebrating artistry, education, and community. This year’s show highlights sustainability, innovation and expanded textile arts, bringing together leading instructors, curated exhibitions, and an expansive vendor marketplace.
Headlining the event is keynote speaker Julia McLeod, an acclaimed quiltmaker and textile designer known for her innovative use of reclaimed luxury fabrics. Her work will also be featured in a special exhibition. Also featured is Maday Delgado, whose “Trash Talk” lecture at the Fashion Show explores sustainability and creative reuse in textile art.
Exhibitions include works from McLeod and Delgado, two Cherrywood Challenge Storytime Challenge exhibits, and a judged competition evaluated by the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges.
New for 2026, the President’s Challenge will support the Quilts of Valor Foundation, inviting participants to create quilts honoring veterans in celebration of America250.
The show also expands to include weaving and dyeing experiences hosted at the Paramount Center for the Arts, further broadening its commitment to inclusive textile arts.
The Minnesota Quilt Show continues to be a premier destination for quilters and fiber artists, offering education, inspiration, and community connection.
