10th Anniversary Celebration!

Join us as we celebrate 10 years of creativity, community quilting passion!

If you haven’t seen the mega quilt blocks at 219 and Hwy. 6, drive by and check them out as we promote 2026 Bosque Arts Center Quilt Show on August 7 and 8. Open 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, we have a great list of vendors participating. Admission is $7.

The raffle quilt is on display in the Atrium entrance with tickets available at $1 each or six for $5. Drawing for the quilt will take place on Saturday at 3:45p.m. Additionally, a daily gift basket will be given away each day of the show.

A special wine and appetizer reception will be held on Thursday, August 16, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. At that time, we’ll introduce our vendor participants and present our quilt award winners. The public is invited to attend. Quilts will not be on view until Friday, but stop by the reception and meet the vendors, quilt winners and visit with our award sponsors.

Once again, our total prize money is $2,500 and includes winners such as Best of Show, People’s Choice (voted on by attendees to the show), Best Art Quilt, and the SAR (Special Artist Recognition), along with additional awards which include Nancy Pugh Memorial Award $150, Judges Choice, Best Hand Work, Best Hand Quilting, Best Domestic Machine Quilting, Best Long Arm Quilting Hand-guided, Best Long Arm Quilting Computerized, and finally the NACQJ Award of Merit $150.

We have 83 quilts in the show this year. We’ll have a food truck in the parking lot both days and a scissors and knife sharpener on sight on Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you’re a quilter, we have plenty for you to see and even if you’re not, our vendors provide a range of non-quilting items. This show provides a beautiful array of quilts with unique patterns, styles and colors, while the vendors provide a variety of gift ideas and quilting ideas. ~DP
