The history of quilting can be traced back at least to medieval times. There are many early examples of medieval quilts from Europe, India and the Far East that have survived even today. The word ‘quilt’ – linked to the Latin word ‘culcita’, meaning a bolster or cushion – seems to have first been used in England in the 13th century.

Regardless of the colors used, quilts reflect the passion and love that a quilter has for life itself. The colors in quilts are as diverse as people’s beliefs. The colors unite to form a harmonious whole in patterns symbolic of life and death.

The Bloomin’ Arts Committee and is privileged to present the 2023 Bloomin’ Arts Quilt Show.

A non-juried event, the Frost Law Firm, PA Bloomin’ Arts Festival Quilt Show will be held on the second floor of the Polk County History Center, in the historic 1926 Courtroom. The one-day viewing of the quilts will be held on Saturday, March 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Be sure to stop by and visit these beautiful quilts and see the passion and love for life exhibited by each artist.
