The 32nd annual Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) will be held October 12-15, 2023, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, in Santa Clara, CA.
2023 PIQF will feature an amazing collection of quilt, textile, and wearable art from around the world. Come see the competition entries and ribboned winners that will include national and international quilts. In addition, the event will have an incredible Merchants Mall filled with vendor booths, offering all the supplies quilters and needle artists need to complete their textile projects. Nationally and internationally known instructors will be teaching a wide variety of workshops for those quilt artists interested in learning new skills.

Patsy Ronat and Valerie Sauban traveled with this year's opportunity quilt one last time to present the work to the raffle winner, Jeanne Myers.
The winning ticket was purchased at one of the early ticket sales events at The Ruth Bancroft Gardens & Nursery in Walnut Creek, where Jeanne and friends were celebrating a birthday. Her plans are to prominently display the quilt in her home on a wall with a cedar backdrop.
Patsy and Valerie tirelessly sold tickets at many sister guild meetings and venues in the months leading up to this year's quilt show. Ticket sales were brisk during the show. Over 12,500 tickets filled the raffle drum to near-capacity on the day of the drawing!
Congratulations, Jeanne!
