It’s Never Too Early

Independence Hall Quilters

To start working on next year’s Quilt Faire.

The 2025 Scholarship Raffle Tickets have been printed and are ready for us to staple them into “6-paks.”

You don’t know how much fun is to be had when doing this silly chore. We just laugh and laugh for hours. The more staplers we have, the fewer hours we have to staple.

The Scholarship quilt is finished, and the details + photo will be posted online as soon as they are available.

Quilt Faire Results

Independence Hall Quilters

Every year, in our Quilt Faire Program, there is a ballot to vote for your favorite entries. The most favorite entries receive a “Viewer’s Choice” award ribbon.

We know that these are tough choices, and we notice the concentration and serious consideration that our guests show when voting. We are all grateful that you make the effort for us. Those in the guild who didn’t get ribbons this year will have another chance next year.

Y’all are our ‘Academy,’ and we thank you for rewarding us with what we feel in our hearts is equivalent to an Oscar.

And this year’s winners are…
