From the very beginning, the Pinetree Quilters’ Guild has had a history of successful quilt shows that have served to showcase the talents of Guild members and to share with a broader audience the activities of the Guild. As the Guild has grown, so has the scope of the shows, from a comparatively tiny 6 hour show of 50 entries to the current large-scale productions that encompass several days, hundreds of entries, and a variety of quilting-related activities. Since 1996, the Pinetree Quilters’ Guild has held its shows triennially. The chart below gives links to all our shows and will be updated after every show.

From July, 1996, the series of quilt shows were titled “Collaborations” to reflect the co-operative spirit that quilting embodies, whether it is amongst those who sit and stitch around a frame at a “bee”, the sharing of patterns, ideas, and assistance that a Guild embodies, or the relationship that the Guild enjoyed with other organizations in producing the shows. As of 2008, the show will become the “Muskoka Quilt Show”, recognizing that our membership and activities are especially representative of this unique area of Ontario.
