We are excited to invite you to submit your work for the upcoming Joined by Stitching: A Quilter’s Art Exhibition, presented by the Arts Council of Fayetteville & Tarheel Quilters Guild.

Venue: The Arts Council, 301 Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301
Entry Deadline: March 1, 2026
We welcome entries that reflect originality, strong design, and excellence in execution. Whether your quilts are inspired by tradition, personal stories, or modern techniques and materials, we want to see how you express art through fiber.
