From the Empire QuiltFest Committee

The Empire QuiltFest 2020 – EQF X Diamonds and Daffodils – scheduled for April 4 & 5 and Shenendehowa High School East in Clifton Park has been CANCELLED due to the ongoing concerns over the corona virus. We thank all those who planned, entered, volunteered for, and committed to vending at the show.

We will be in touch in the next couple of weeks with information about refunds for prepaid fees. Thank you so much for your support of EQF and please stay safe.

Quilt registrations due 2/15

Please enter the Empire QuiltFest. The participation of quilters of all skill levels is what makes our show a success. Simple quilts are beautiful in and of themselves, and they also encourage others to enter a show and/or try quilting. Complex, advanced quilts are inspiration to all of us, quilters and non quilters, old and new.

The Entering a Quilt page has all the information and links to the forms that are needed for submission. Remember your quilt does not have to be done on 2/15, but your registration has to be postmarked by that date.
