The Calgary Quilt Festival Association (CQFA) was created in 2026 to continue the tradition of a spring quilt showcase for Calgary area quilters.  Our first show will be in May 2027.

Mission Statement:

The Calgary Quilt Festival showcases the diverse art of quilting by highlighting creativity, storytelling, craftsmanship and community connection while encouraging participation from quilters of all skill levels.

Vision Statement:

We envision a vibrant quilting community where creativity thrives, diversity is celebrated, and quilting is recognized as a powerful artistic and storytelling medium.

The Calgary Quilt Festival is a welcoming platform for quilters at every stage of their skill development.   We will build a broader appreciation by the general public of the evolving art of quilting.

Land Acknowledgement:

We live, work, and create on the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 Nations in Southern Alberta and the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3.  We honour and celebrate this land and all those who share it in a spirit of peace, friendship, and respect.  We believe that storytelling and art can bring people mutual understanding, and spark meaningful discussions about the past, present, and future.
