Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival

Discover the Merchants Mall, where quilters, fiber and textile artists, wearable art enthusiasts, and home sewers will find an extraordinary selection of machines, fabrics, supplies, tools, patterns, and unique products. Be inspired by stunning exhibits showcasing exceptional quilts, garments, and works of fiber art. Experience the excitement of the juried quilt and wearable art competitions featuring outstanding entries and prize awards. Expand your skills with an impressive lineup of workshops and lectures taught by leading instructors, then explore the many demonstrations taking place throughout the Merchants Mall. From shopping and learning to inspiration and artistic discovery, this is an event you won't want to miss. We’re making a small change to make your M-AQF experience even better! Starting in 2027, the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival will move to the first week of March to better accommodate the demand for hotel room availability.
