Become a Sponsor

A heart-felt “Thank You” goes to all of our 2024 sponsors!

IHQS would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors! As many as 3,000 quilters, fiber artists, and art enthusiasts attend our show each year. During the three days of workshops, exhibits, and activities, patrons spend a good deal of time exploring what Bloomington has to offer, visiting our local dining and shopping establishments.

Becoming a sponsor is a great way to drive traffic to your business before, during, and after the show! Quilters have a strong buy-local ethic that extends far beyond shopping for quilt materials.

Do you have a family quilter you would like to honor? Does your bee or guild have an outstanding volunteer to celebrate? Do you have a business to promote? Consider an IHQS sponsorship. Depending on the level of sponsorship, sponsor names appear on the IHQS webpage, flyers, the show's sponsor board, and on winning quilts. Sponsorships start at $150 and go up to $2,500 for Best of Show.

Our Indiana Heritage Quilt Show Sponsorship Packet (PDF) has all the details. The packet will be updated later this year for the 2025 show.
