2021 Quilt Shows and 2021 International Quilt Shows

To say that 2020 was a crazy year would be a tremendous understatement. The same can be said for the state of our Quilt Shows.

With venue closings and large gatherings temporarily banned, all the major Quilt Shows were forced to shift gears, or in some cases, cancel all together.

Therefore, to plan for the upcoming year I’ve been researching the status of all the major 2021 Quilt Shows and compiled a list of their current status. Many are choosing to hold Virtual Quilt Shows however, many are still planning to continue with in person Quilt Shows later in the year.


How many items can you check off of the Big Quilter’s Bucket List Challenge?


Below you will find a list of not only the larger shows around the United States, arranged by date, but also the 2021 International Quilt Shows around the world.

I will continually be updating this list once a month or sooner if I get specific information. So, be sure to bookmark this page or Pin it to Pinterest so you can check back as we go forward.
