The Elkhart County Quilt and Fiber Experience will feature quilter Rob Appel as the main event, and there will be a trunk show the first day at the Essenhaus in Middlebury.  More details will be forthcoming.

The Elkhart County Quilt and Fiber Experience is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity formed to plan and present an annual event promoting the textile and fiber arts in the greater Elkhart, Indiana area.  Other related events throughout the year may be added as the opportunity, interest, and need arise.

Our Mission:

The Elkhart County Quilt & Fiber Experience seeks to inspire, encourage and showcase the textile and fiber artisans in our midst through workshops, presentations and demonstrations.   Through collaboration, educational opportunities, exhibitions, and juried contests the ECQFE includes a wide variety of textile and fiber arts. The event is open to all, with the goal of building community among those teaching, learning, experiencing and discovering the joy of “textiles and fibers.”

Our Vision:

Celebrate, educate and inspire through textiles and fiber!
