Our 40th anniversary ruby jubilee quilt show has been scheduled for 2021

Save the NEW date: JULY 30-31, 2021

We are going to try again! Our anniversary show was canceled in 2020 due to pandemic concerns. We have scheduled the quilt show for 2021, same place, same weekend. With a bit of luck, a vaccine, and a significant drop in Covid-19 cases we hope to bring a terrific show to the Knoxville area once again! Details are available on our quilt show page.  

We are looking forward to an influx of isolation quilts and a spectacular show in 2021! Take a break from making masks and get back to work on your quilts! Plan to send your entries and plan to attend!

Meetings are on hold

As Covid-19 has enforced an unwelcome hiatus on organized meetings, most of us are still working on our projects at home. We miss the interaction with our quilting friends, but we continue to be cautiously hopeful that our gatherings will resume by the time our weather of 2021 turns much warmer.

Until our meetings no longer require ZOOM assistance, all scheduled group activities are suspended. Check back with some regularity to see if Smoky Mountain Quilters activities have live, in-person meetings scheduled.  A non-working button on the website generally indicates suspended activities.

Continue to work on projects for our quilt show and for your peace of mind! If good fortune shines upon us, we hope to see you at our quilt show in July. In the meantime visit our Facebook page to see what our members are doing.

Welcome to our tennessee valley home

We are happy you are visiting our website and hope will take a few moments to acquaint yourself with our organization. We are especially proud of our quilt show that we have produced annually since 1980. We offer a variety of activities for our members such as community service sew days, challenges, and block and fabric swaps. We try to keep everyone informed via newsletters, the website, Facebook, and Instagram. You will find membership information, a calendar of events, and lots of photos that help to tell our story. Please enjoy browsing our website.
