Cabarrus quilt show

The Smoky Mountain Quilters of Tennessee (SMQ) will present their 43rd annual Quilt Show and Competition June 21-22, 2024, in the Knoxville Expo Center at 5441 Clinton Hwy.

(at Merchant Drive) in Knoxville. In addition to the more than 200 stunning quilts on display, the show will feature a special opportunity for attendees to bring their own quilt to share and document through the “Go Tell It!” project by the Quilt Alliance (QA).

“We are thrilled to work with the Smoky Mountain Quilters,” said Amy Milne, Executive Director of the Quilt Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to documenting, preserving and sharing our quilt heritage.

“We invite anyone who has a cherished quilt (whether they are the maker or not), to bring that quilt to the show to document it. We believe that quilts are historical documents, containing important information about the life and times of the maker, their family, their community and their world.

However, most quilts outlive their makers. Document your quilts, so their stories don’t fade away
