2025 Quilters' Gathering

Quilting was one of many heritage crafts once practiced by the Shakers - Shaker Village's museum collection even has two quilts hand-stitched by Sister Mary Settles, the last Shaker of Pleasant Hill.

Stop by the Centre Family Dwelling dining room to learn how twenty-first-century quilters continue to ply their needles (and their sewing machines) to make a variety of beautiful quilts, ranging from hand-pieced traditional designs to more modern styles sewn and quilted by machine. Quilters will have a variety of completed projects on display and will be happy to share their knowledge and chat with guests as they work.

Access to the Quilters' Gathering is included with an admission ticket purchased at the Welcome Center.
