Thurston County Fair Open Class Home Arts: Quilt Block Contest

Thurston County Fair Open Class Home Arts Department

Quilt Block Contest

Each year, the Open Class Home Arts Department holds a quilt block contest. A local independent fabric shop sells contest kits, from which purchasers can make blocks to enter into the contest.

Lost & Found Crafts will again be hosting the Quilt Block Contest Kits for the 2025 Fair. Entered blocks will be on display in the Home Arts Building (Heritage Hall) at the fairgrounds.

When will we see the raffle quilt made from blocks submitted in 2025?

The top 12 blocks will be used to create a quilt to be raffled off at the 2025 fair. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each, and available for purchase at the fair in the Home Arts Department.
Proceeds from sale of the raffle tickets allow the Home Arts Department to purchase stationery supplies, signage, display supplies, fans, special prize ribbons, and cash prizes such as the annual Master Maker (formerly “Homemakers”) Award.
