Art in Quilts

Quilt Gardens, Quilt Murals and the Annual Quilt and Fiber Expo are known for their bright and cheerful welcomings when visiting Elkhart County in the northern section of Indiana.

Returning for the 17th year, there will be 13 Quilt Gardens planted in the area and will compliment 12 Quilt Mural locations, all free and open to the public seven days a week from May 30 to September 15. (Three locations have a Quilt Garden and Quilt Mural).

The annual, award-winning Quilt Gardens along the Heritage Trail joins quilting, gardening and art into a oneof-a-kind event featuring super-sized hand-painted Quilt Murals and more than one million vibrant blooms in gigantic Quilt Gardens. Closer to May, the Quilt Gardens webpage will be updated with details such as locations, quilt patterns and more.

The Elkhart County Quilt and Fiber Expo (ECQFE) is slated for June 6-8 and will be located in the Northern Indiana Event Center. This is the second year of the event and it was a huge success in its first year in 2023. Lots of great quilting and fabric demos, seminars and workshops, exhibits, along with plenty of vendors for fabrics and supplies will be in attendance.

The theme this year is simply “YOU.” The featured artisan, AnnieFuller, will be present to share her passion and samplers with guests. She is an expert in cross stitch. You can find out more on their website at https://elkhartcountyquiltfiberexpo.org/
