Backcountry Quilt Show – June 21 to July 4

June 21 @ 10:00 am - July 4 @ 4:00 pm

Saturday, June 21st until Saturday, July 4th,

daily from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The Backcountry Quilt Show will occur on the main (top) floor of Julian Town Hall, located at the corner of Highway 78/79 and Main Street. The quilt show is open to the public and free of charge.

Each year the Julian Woman’s Club presents its Quilt Show to display our town’s heritage of quilt making for the enjoyment of quilters and other visitors to Julian. This has been one of our club’s signature events for over 30 years. Many visitors, young and old, female and male, local and from around the world, attend the show each year. A “Country Store” within the show offers quilts and boutique items for sale, all hand-made and donated by women in the club. Profits from the sale of these items go toward local scholarships.

Unlike “juried” quilt shows, our show is an opportunity for local quilters to exhibit their heirloom quilts. A “viewers’ choice” balloting is held and the winner receives a ribbon and bragging rights for the year. The Heritage Quilt Show continues to be a success for the club and an important event in our community.

The town’s Independence Day celebration on July 4th is when we pick the winning ticket. The winner will receive a phone call at 3:00.

The raffle quilt is designed and sewn under the direction of Eleanor Burns, and is different each year.

Raffle tickets for the Quilt are two tickets for $5 or one ticket for $3. They can be purchased online.
