We are delighted to announce the judges for the Modern Quilt Show Australia 2026:
Tania Tanti, Belinda von Mengersen, and Wendy Nutt.
Three wonderful textile artists and their discerning minds, coming together to judge quilt entries from all over Australia.
MQSA will be a showcase of the best of modern quilting in this country, and we can’t wait to see all the quilts hanging at Petersham.
We look forward to bringing you a range of wonderful stalls at the show including:
Carry a big tote . Our stallholders will give you plenty of opportunity for purchasing if you need a rest from browsing the quilts.
Thank you for supporting local business and the show.
We’ve curated an amazing series of workshops, talks and events for the show next March.
International award-winning quilter Tania Tanti will be our featured artist, alongside a host of other big-name makers, designers and teachers.
Top Aussie modern quilters will share their design secrets, and help you to create your own unique quilts. Learn techniques, follow journeys, find inspiration, or slow down with hand stitching. Learn how to capture beautiful images of your quilts for show entries; discover how ethnic textiles inspired an exquisite series of mini modern masterpieces; and study the mysteries of tessellation: and this is just a handful of the themes on offer at the show.
