The North Louisiana Quilt Guild invites all to the 2026 Quilt Show

Throughout history, quilting has mainly served as a source of comfort and warmth, yet over time, as more decorative elements were added, quilts transformed into breathtaking works of art. 45 years ago The North Louisiana Quilt Guild was established to share these lovely creations. NLQG member Susan Wieble is thrilled to announce the 2026 Quilt Show taking place at the West Monroe Convention Center on Friday, February 27th, from 9 am to 5 pm, and Saturday, February 28th, from 9 am to 4 pm. The 2026 Quilt Show will display over 200 quilts.

Attendees can look forward to demonstrations showcasing quilting techniques so they too can learn the art. There will be vendors offering tools, along with an exhibition showcase. A hospitality room is available for those who need it. There will also be $1 raffle tickets available for purchase, giving attendees a chance to win a patriotic Raffle Quilt or Raffle Baskets, along with several door prizes awarded throughout the show. Lunch can be purchased, and parking is free. Tickets for the show cost $7 for individuals aged 9 to 79, while everyone else can attend for free. NLQG hopes for all to come and be amazed by the beautiful pieces. The 2026 Quilt Show is designed to honor the craft of quilting.

In Wible’s own words. "We don’t judge our art, we share our art.”
