Celebrating Tradition, Stitching Hope

From its humble beginnings in 1983—when a dedicated group of women came together to honor the rich cultural heritage of quiltmaking—the Holiday Quilt Show and Auction has grown into one of the last remaining all-hand-quilted shows in the United States. What began as a passion for preserving tradition has become a beloved biennial event that brings artistry, generosity, and community spirit under one roof.

Each year, hundreds of volunteers generously devote their time, talents, and resources to craft breathtaking handmade quilts. Fueled by the kindness of our community, the Quilt Show has raised over $4.75 million to support Intermountain Foundation’s mission of delivering world-class healthcare to the Salt Lake Valley and beyond. These funds also advance vital medical research and education—helping shape the future of medicine while honoring a cherished legacy.

We will be offering short tutorials on quilting, stitching, binding, preparing sleeves, hand and machine appliqué, hand piecing, border treatments, labels, pressing paths, and more.

As space is limited and to know how many lunches to provide, signup will be required. To be notified each month when the Signup Genius link is active, please email Dennis Morganson at Dennis.Morganson@imail.org.

Cause area

Proceeds from the 2024 Holiday Quilt Show and Auction supported the funding of a new ultrasound imaging machine for the Grant Scott Bonham Fetal Center at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital.

This imaging machine will provide the highest level of care for mothers and babies, and is vital to the diagnosis and treatment of an unborn child.

The Grant Scott Bonham Fetal Center is the most highly specialized fetal care center in Utah and the Intermountain West, featuring:

  • Maternal-fetal medicine specialists for the pregnant mother
  • Neonatologists who are specially trained to care for newborns, and
  • Pediatric specialists for all of the baby’s needs before and after delivery

Contributions to the Fetal Center provide the opportunity to rewrite the life stories of untold numbers of children and families across our community. Because of this generosity, children are able to grow into healthy adults, living life to the fullest.
