Quilt Shows by State
2 quilt shows in New Hampshire — guild shows, festivals and national events.
New Hampshire has its own quilting community, traditions, and shops. New Hampshire was the first state to declare independence from England. 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 New Hampshire 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.
