The Knox County Kut-Ups Quilt Club is inviting quilt lovers of all ages and experience levels to display their quilts at this year’s Corn Festival Quilt Show. New quilters are encouraged to participate. Everyone is welcome!
The annual event attracts quilters from throughout the region to show their work free of charge. The quilt show is one of the largest in the area and is appreciated by a large crowd of visitors.
Entry to view the quilts is also free of charge.
The quilt show attracts quilt enthusiasts along with visitors who have never been to a quilt show before.
The 2025 quilt show will be held at the Knox County Community Center in Edina on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The community center is located north of the Knox County Courthouse at 207 N. Fourth St.
Quilters from throughout the region are invited to drop off their show quilts at the community center the day before, Friday, Sept. 5, between 10 a.m. and noon.
Quilt pickup will be after the show closes from 3:30 to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
The Kut-Ups have planned a silent auction fundraiser during the quilt show, along with their traditional Corn Festival Raffle Quilt drawing. Chances for the raffle quilt are being sold by club members ahead of the event, at the 4-H Pavilion in Edina during the Corn Festival opening meal on Friday evening, Sept. 5, and at the quilt show. Chances are $1 each or six for $5.
