INTERNATIONAL QUILTERS DAY

International Quilters Day – 2026

A wonderful way to celebrate the art of quilting and also the friendships that come from joining together to share.  At 2026 International Quilters Day  we welcomed over 175 quilters, visitors and friends to celebrate with us. Take a look at some of the photos.

International Quilters Day  is a special occasion dedicated to the celebration of quilting; an art form that has been cherished for centuries. This day brings together quilters all over the world to share their passion, creativity, and skills.

Held annually on the third Saturday of March; the event in 2026 was held on the second Saturday (14^th March 2026) due to the scheduled South Australian State election which was held on the third Saturday.

International Quilters Day was first established in 1991 by the American National Quilting Association (NQA). The idea was to create a day that honours the rich history and cultural significance of quilting. Over the years, the celebration has grown in popularity, with quilters from various countries participating.
