Vendor Show Process and Procedures
The following information is provided to clarify the processes that have been adopted by the Shipshewana Quilt Festival for vendors at the Shipshewana Quilt & Vendor Show. Because of the demand for booth space and the desire to maintain the highest quality of show possible, the show has adopted an application and approval process for booth space rather than an invitation for all wishing to be a vendor.
Vendors will be determined through an application process. Applications must be received by January 31, 2022 with the applicable fees. Applications submitted without applicable fees will not be considered. Application fees will be returned if not selected. Vendor booth decisions are made mid-winter with notifications sent after selection.
Show fees also include a listing and link to your homepage on the Shipshewana Quilt Festival website.
The show will be maintaining a contact list of those wishing to receive notification of the vendor booth application availability and will forward you information when it becomes available. To add your name to this list, please e-mail your contact information to info@shipshewanaquiltfest.com or watch this page for further information.
The organizers do identify alternate selections in the case of last minute cancellations. Should you desire to be considered for this list, please contact the show organizer, Brittney Manges at bmanges@yoderdepartmentstore.com or (877) 768-2010.
The following information is from 2021.
2022 information will be posted as it becomes available.
Sapphire Celebration Special Exhibit
The Shipshewana Quilt Festival is honored to be hosting the Sapphire Celebration special exhibit. First premiering in Houston at the International Quilt Festival’s 45thanniversary in 2019, quilters were asked for their best creations utilizing the colors blue and white. Sapphire is the gem used to celebrate 45th anniversaries and quilters have long used the color blue to symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. The Sapphire Celebration Collection features new and antique quilts that were made between the years 1974 and 2019.
Krista Moser Special Exhibit
First premiering at Road to California, the Shipshewana Quilt Festival is excited to share The Quilted Life collection by Krista Moser as a Special Exhibit at this year’s event. Approximately 30 pieces of Krista’s finest work will be displayed giving you the opportunity to navigate through Krista’s love for symmetry, clean lines with bold colors, and shapes that tessellate in all directions. Recognized nationally as the designer of the 60° Diamond Rulers for Creative Grids, this quilting and fiber arts enthusiast began her sewing journey at the age of eight. Don’t miss this opportunity to see the works of one of the hottest up and coming modern quilters.
