Calling all Quilters and Fiber Artists!!!
 

Elkhart Quilt & Fiber Experience is so happy to announce we will have a Quilt & Fiber EXPO June 4-5, 2026.  In addition to Quilt and Fiber entries, we also have a special category....

​

Gracie invites you to join the America 250 Challenge as part of the 2026 Elkhart County Quilt and Fiber Experience!  This Challenge is meant to invite entrants to showcase their various needle skills in depicting what our country's 250th birthday (semi quincentennial) means to them.

​

Choose your muse and inspiration to create any needle, quilting, or fiber art to express your sentiments.  Start now, there will be a viewer's choice award for the America 250 Challenge and while there is no entry fee, an entry form (available March 1) must be completed and submitted.

​
