Munfordville’s Quilting Bee

Quilts hold stories. They are a way for those who make them to let their creativity shine. They keep us warm. They decorate our walls. They are there when we are ready to get cozy in bed and when we are hungry for a picnic. Whether you are interested in looking at quilting creations others have made or want to learn how to make your own, Munfordville’s Quilting Bee is worth making a trip to.

The charming, historic town of Munfordville is hosting its 4th Annual Quilting Bee and Showcase on May 20th at Munfordville Elementary. The Bee is on its third event location due to rapid growth in the number of quilts submitted to the showcase and the variety of hands-on activities.

There will be free quilting and sewing demonstrations throughout the day. This is a great option for beginners, as well as those who just want to join in the fun! If you have a quilt you would like to bring for others to enjoy in the showcase, you get a gift just for entering! You will be able to vote for your favorite quilts and there will be gifts for winners in various categories. Fabric vendors will be on-site! Plus, there will be prizes throughout the day. 

Quilt registration is from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. 

Sewing activities and showcase are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We believe this is a fantastic event and a great opportunity to travel to Munfordville. Might we suggest Murray’s Restaurant for breakfast before you head to the event?
