Seventeen local guilds participate in the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival which occurs every two years.  The Festival features Special Quilt Exhibits, which highlight quilt artists and community quilt challenges; quilt collections from each of the regional guilds; as well as judged quilts. And, of course, lots of vendors.  

There are also a wide variety of classes being offered and there are some that fit into our time schedule if you are interested.  Please go to www.KCRQF.com for additional information. You will need to register and pay for those classes directly.
