Celebrate Local Creativity and Craftsmanship at the 2024 Knox County Quilt Show

Mt Vernon, OH – The Knox County’s Quilt Guild Quilt Show is coming back, and promises to once again showcase the artistry and skill of local quilters. Hosted by the Knox County Quilt Guild, A QUILTER’S CELEBRATION promises to be a feast for the eyes, featuring a stunning display of over 200 locally crafted quilts, and more!

The Knox County Quilt Show is scheduled to take place on Friday, April 12th from 10am-6pm and Saturday April 13th, from 10am-5pm at Faith Baptist Church at 8764 Martinsburg Road, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Admission is only $5, and will include the opportunity to register for extraordinary door prizes!  This year’s show will feature a wide array of quilts, ranging from traditional designs to modern creations. Quilters from around Mount Vernon and beyond will have the opportunity to exhibit their work and share their passion for quilting with the community.

“We are excited to bring the Knox County Quilt Guild Quilt Show, A QUILTER’S CELEBRATION, back for another year,” said Robin Jordan, President of the Quilt Guild. “This event is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community. It’s a wonderful opportunity for quilters to showcase their talent and for visitors to be inspired by their work.”

In addition to the quilt displays, the Knox County Quilt Show will offer FREE door prizes, a craft table of discount priced quilt related items donated by Quilt Guild members as well as several vendor tables.  The vendors tables will include speciality hand dyed fabrics, scissor sharpening (while you wait), craft and fabric tables, and much much more!  Some of the displayed quilts will even be offered for sale!

Both novice and experienced quilters and attendees may learn new techniques, get tips from our local experts, and find inspiration for their own quilting projects.

The Knox County Quilt Show is made possible thanks to the support of vendors, sponsors, Quilt Guild members, volunteers, and our quilting community. Their contributions help make this event a success and promote the art of quilting in Knox County and beyond.

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the artistry and craftsmanship of local quilters at the 2024 Knox County Quilt Show. Whether you’re a novice or seasoned quilter or simply appreciate the beauty of handmade quilts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this year’s show.

Stockhands Horses for Healing @ Stockhands Horses for Healing
Apr 13 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
There is something restorative about being out at the barn. When you step foot into the barn, everything else seems to fall away; the stress, the worries, the fear of judgement, the chaos… Coming to the barn gives you the space to just be. Read with the Horses is meant to provide a space for readers of all ages and abilities to relax and enjoy their books, without the fear of judgement, without the stress of “getting it right.” Our equine partners love listening as our readers share new stories (you should see them looking around for their reading partners Saturday mornings prior to a Read with the Horses event) and they won’t ever tell you if you’ve misread something. Our hope is that Read with the Horses gives our readers a space to fall in love with reading, to escape the stress and pressures of the outside world, and a space to experience the adventures found within the pages of a book.
Come see the magic on the 2nd Saturday of every month!
