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.

They’re jaw-dropping, they’re durable, they live for decades! Join us at the Ranch for the 2nd annual CLEMATIS KERFLUFFLE April 16-21st at Groovy Plants Ranch! Mark your calendars for this WEEKDAY plant party.
Finding quality clematis at garden centers can be very difficult and frustrating. That’s why we’ve grown over 1000+ healthy clematis HERE at GPR for you to shop– we have your standard favorites and some exciting harder to find varieties in pinks, purples, reds, whites, singles, doubles, multi-colored blooms, and our personal favorite TAIGA!
Every garden should have a clematis or five. Few plants offer the impact of summer color like clematis while thriving for years and years and years. We will be releasing clematis each day of the Kerfluffle.
