The Iowa Quilt Festival
The Iowa Quilt Festival, formerly known as the Airing of the Quilts, celebrates the history, tradition, and artistry of quilting in Iowa! To start off the festivities, we are offering a highly-rated quilt retreat, classes, and Quilt Luminarium with Ricky Tims. We end the events with the grand finale of the Airing of the Quilts on Saturday where you'll see hundreds of quilts displayed in dozens of historical and cultural landmarks across our picturesque county, including the famous "bridges of Madison County". This unique event is one that you don’t want to miss!
