Quilt Fayre Returns to Northern Ireland in September
Irish quilters will be able to enjoy three days of classes, exhibits, and shopping at Quilt Fayre, being held September 7–9, 2023, at the Stormont Hotel in Belfast, Northern Ireland. One of the highlights will be a display of quilts from the Hands Across the Border joint initiative by the Irish Patchwork Society and the Northern Ireland Patchwork Guild, who have been working together for more than three decades to strengthen bonds between their members. This year’s theme is “A Walk in the Park,” and quilters from both groups will be on hand during the exhibit.
Winners in two challenge competitions—Let’s Take a Panel and The World Is Full of Magical Things—will be announced, and other displays will include quilts by Yvonne McKee and Yvonne McAtamney, and an unjuried, eclectic exhibit.
