Dakota County Star Quilters holds a quilt show each year at the South St. Paul Historical Society. Unlike most shows, our show stays up for over a month allowing you plenty of time to come visit our show. Our members contribute quilts for display and we usually have 100 pieces on display. There is an annual challenge project among the members, that visitors of the show can vote for their favorite one. Also shown are samples of charity projects the group has worked on and other hand crafted items.
The show is free but we kindly ask you to make a contribution to the Historical Society as they allow us to use their facility each year.
A boutique is open for visitors to shop at. Beautiful quilts, and plenty of fabric is available for purchase. There is also a small quilt auction that visitors can bid on during the run of the show.
