Bennington Quiltfest
At the first Quilt Show, which was held at the Ramada Inn in Bennington, 76 quilts were displayed, and nine vendors sold quilting-related supplies. The show was such a success that it has become an annual event.
Quilt Show dates are chosen to coincide with Bennington's Antique Car Show, which is held on the second weekend after Labor Day. In 1995, the show was moved to Mount Anthony Union High School, a larger venue offering more room for quilt exhibits, vendors, classes, and lectures.
With over 200 quilted items on display, 19 vendor spaces, a consignment shop, a featured quilter and lecturer, demonstrations, vintage quilts exhibits, and the spectacular raffle quilt, Bennington Quiltfest has grown into one of the area's most popular events. The show gives the public the opportunity to view quilts ranging from the homespun, traditional variety we grew up with to fascinating contemporary works of art.
