At the Iowa Quilt Museum, we’re working hard to make the upcoming Iowa Quilt Festival the most inspiring one yet!

Join us for the Iowa Quilt Festival Retreat and Classes in charming Winterset, Iowa. Enjoy three full days of quilting, camaraderie, and creativity at the historic Winterset Livery. We’ve expanded our space this year to welcome even more quilters-but don’t wait too long to grab your spot!

If you can’t attend all three days, no worries-there’s still so much to enjoy! During the festival, we’ll also host a variety of workshops, lectures, Quilt Trivia Night, and more. Whether you join us for a class, an evening event, or a day (or two) at the retreat, we’d love to have you be part of the fun.

Retreat, class, lecture, and Gallery Walk tickets are now available online, with flexible retreat options for 1-day or 2-day attendance.
