DCSQ Quilt Show 2023
Stitches in Time
April 5th - April 28th
Our annual quilt show will be back in South St. Paul. Check back often for details.
Dakota County Star Quilters holds a quilt show each year at the Dakota County Historical Society Museum in South St. Paul. 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.
A lecture and trunk show are scheduled during the quilt show and is free for current members to acquire tickets. Tickets are also available for purchase by the public.

About Colby Cartledge:
Fabric is in my blood. I grew up as a single child of a single mother who was a seamstress by trade and taught me the love of fabric. My grandmother who also lived with us, taught me my love of handwork. She was an amazing embroidery artist and had a needle in my hand by the age of 5.
I started making quilts at age 9 for 4-H competitions and made one every year until I went to undergrad. I resumed my practice after graduating and have been making quilts as fast as I could buy the supplies ever since.
I currently describe my work in the style of Modern Traditionalism, a mix of modern quilting principles tied back to the roots of our craft. Originally from Texas, I relocated to Minneapolis, MN in 2013 where I currently reside with my wife Katie, and our herd of many animals
