Quiltfest Oasis Palm Springs is excited to announce the first ever National Modern Quilt Competition, “Mid-Century Mod” to be judged and juried at the event, held at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, CA, Thursday, October 6 through Saturday, October 8. The entries will then travel to be displayed at the Pacific International Quilt Festival, held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Thursday, October 13 to Sunday, October 16.
The call for entries for the National Modern Quilt Competition received a staggering response with over 100 accepted quilts in the competition. Quilt artists from coast to coast have submitted their modern quilts for judging at Quiltfest Oasis in seven categories.
Palm Springs, CA, well known for mid-century modern design and architecture, provides the perfect backdrop for this incredible competition. Quilt entrants, who are competing for over $6,000 in prizes, were asked to describe how and where they drew inspiration for their Mid-Century Mod quilt.
