Maine Quilt Show

July 29 – 31, 2027

It’s our Anniversary and we are having a PARTY!

We are starting a new year of planning, as you all know we can’t do this without you. I am looking for a few Chairpersons.

We need an Equipment Chairperson, Set-up Chairperson, Take down Chairperson, White Glove Chairperson and a Children’s class teacher.

Each position comes with a blue binder and complete instructions on how to do the job. These positions do not have to be just one person. We have several positions that have two representatives. I know the Equipment spot is typically a difficult one to fill, but we are offering to pay Augusta Civic Center employees to do the lifting. All we need is for you to do is drive a U-Haul, direct the men on what to take, have them load the truck and drive it to the Augusta Civic Center and have Civic Center employees unload it the next day, return the truck on Tuesday and do it all again on Saturday. Please think about joining our 2027 Quilt Show Team. I can’t do this without you. Please feel free to reach out to me at info@Mainequilts.org any time to ask questions about the available positions.

Here is a list of teachers who are scheduled for MQ 2027!

Karen K. Stone • Candyce Grisham • Diane Vandiver MJ Kinman • Sue Pelland • Kaye Collins

Opening Night Preview – Wednesday, July 28, 2027 – 7 – 9 p.m.

I am working on one day workshops for 2027 as well. Does anyone teach a quilt coat class, a bag class or are you a certified teacher? If you are interested in teaching a one-day workshop or have suggestions as to what you would like me to schedule, please reach out at info@Mainequilts.org.
