Quilt camp

Quilt camp

August 3 – 7 | 9am – 3pm | Ages 9 – 17

Quilt Camp is one of our most-loved weeks of the summer and is designed for experienced sewists who enjoy a focused, goal-oriented sewing experience. While no prior quilting experience is required, students should be comfortable using a sewing machine independently and have a solid foundation in basic sewing skills.

This camp moves at a faster, intentional pace, with daily goals that guide students through the quilting process from start to finish. Campers who thrive in Quilt Camp are those who enjoy working with purpose, following multi-step instructions, and staying engaged as their project comes together. Working steadily each day is important in order to complete a quilt by the end of the week.

We believe finishing a quilt is something worth celebrating. At the completion of the final day of camp, our group takes a trip to downtown Waxhaw to display their quilts along the bridge for a special group photo. We wrap up the week with a celebratory scoop of ice cream at Waxhaw Creamery, marking the accomplishment of seeing a big project through from start to finish.

Returning campers will enjoy working on a brand-new quilt design for 2026, making each summer’s experience fresh and exciting.
