About this Event

2025 Quilt Challenge Exhibit - Brought to you by Nancy Zieman Sew Quilt Create Productions and The Dodge County Center For the Arts

During the 2025 Wisconsin Arts & Peony Festival, take a journey through time and memory with our one-of-a-kind quilt exhibition celebrating 1973. Discover a stunning collection of handcrafted quilts, each one a masterpiece created by passionate quilters from across the country.

More than just fabric and thread, each quilt in this extraordinary showcase tells a story — a personal reflection of life in 1973. From bold patterns to intricate stitching, these works of art capture the spirit, color, and emotion of a pivotal time in American history.

All 25 quilts are accompanied by the artist’s personal account, sharing what that year meant to them. These heartfelt descriptions bring each piece to life, offering you a rare opportunity to see the world through their eyes — and their hands.Whether you’re a lover of art, history, or the craft of quilting, this immersive experience is not to be missed.

Come celebrate creativity, nostalgia, and the enduring power of storytelling — one stitch at a time.
