Volunteer sign-up for the 2026 Great Wisconsin Quilt Show is now open! The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show is an educational and community fundraising event presented by PBS Wisconsin and Nancy Zieman Productions. Attendees can connect with their creative muse by participating in quilt-related workshops, lectures and stage presentations. See an artist's creativity turned into a beautiful quilt by walking through our juried and judged quilt exhibit. And don't forget to bring your walking shoes as guests can shop their way through a 100,000-square-foot vendor mall! Volunteers will receive free admission and parking on the day(s) they volunteer as well as refreshments before and after their shift. Volunteer admission tickets and parking will be sent to volunteers via email in early September. The 2026 Great Wisconsin Quilt Show is scheduled for September 10-12, 2026.
