How to Find Kansas Capital Quilters Guild Quilt Show Information

Updated

The Kansas Capital Quilters Guild site organizes quilt show information into three areas: rules and entry forms, a page for the upcoming 2026 show, and an archive of past shows with winners. Start at the QUILT SHOWS section of the site menu, then choose the page that matches what you need—entering a quilt, visiting the 2026 show, or browsing past results. The site does not publish show dates, venue addresses, or admission prices in the material available here, so treat those details as unconfirmed until you check the linked pages or contact the guild directly.

What the site covers

The guild began in June 1986 with seven quilters who wanted Topeka to have its own guild, and it has since grown to more than 150 members. Its quilt show pages reflect that history:

To enter a quilt in a show

  1. Open QUILT SHOW RULES and read the requirements before you start any paperwork. The rules page is the authoritative source for categories, eligibility, and deadlines.
  2. Complete the QUILT SHOW ENTRY FORM. The site also has a separate SN CO FAIR ENTRY FORM for the fair show, so confirm which event you are entering.
  3. Check HOW TO ADD A SLEEVE if your quilt needs a hanging sleeve, since this is a common preparation step for show entries.
  4. Use PAYMENT FORMS for any fees connected to your entry. The site lists this page but does not state amounts or accepted payment methods, so verify the fee and payment method with the guild.
  5. If you are submitting a contract as a speaker or vendor, the SPEAKER CONTRACT page is separate from quilt entry.

Expected result: a completed entry form that matches the current rules. Common snag: using an older form or missing the sleeve requirement—recheck the rules page each show cycle.

To visit or follow the 2026 show

Open 2026 KCQG QUILT SHOW for the guild's next show. The available site material does not include dates, location, hours, or ticket information, so confirm those through the guild's CONTACT page before planning a trip. For a sense of what the show looks like, browse the FEATURED QUILT ARTISTS page and the winner lists from prior years.

To research past shows

The winner pages from 2014 through 2024 let you see which quilts and makers were recognized in each year. The OPPORTUNITY QUILTS and CHALLENGES pages run from 2014 to 2026 and show the guild's recurring themed projects; the challenge winners pages cover 2014–2023 with some gaps. These archives are useful if you want to understand the show's categories and standards before entering.

Membership and other guild resources

If your interest goes beyond the show, the site lists BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP, MEMBERSHIP DUES, and MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION, along with PROGRAMS, NEWSLETTERS, MINUTES, GRAPEVINE GROUPS, JOB DESCRIPTIONS, and BYLAWS AND POLICIES. Dues amounts and member-area access terms are not stated in the available material, so check the dues page or ask the guild rather than assuming cost or access.
