Quilt Shows by State
4 quilt shows in Missouri — guild shows, festivals and national events.
Missouri has its own quilting community, traditions, and shops. Missouri is the birthplace of the ice cream cone, invented at the 1904 World's Fair. For local quilters, the state's active guilds run annual or biennial shows that are smaller than the national circuit but often easier to attend.
Vendor booths at Missouri shows carry the same kinds of fabric you can shop online any time — handy if the show is months away or you can't make the trip.
