THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING GARDEN OF QUILTS

SEE YOU September 11-14, 2024!

Set within the 50-acre Ashton Gardens in Lehi, Utah, the festival includes classes from an international roster of favorite teachers, vendors, trunk shows, demonstrations, and a stunning outdoor exhibit of hundreds of beautiful quilts displayed among the flowers and trees on the 15th and 16th.
