Mancuso Show Management will be celebrating the 30th year of the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza on September 14th through September 17th, 2023. The event will take place at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, and will feature over 700 quilts and works of textile and wearable art from across the country.

“As the old expression goes, ‘The days are long, but the years are fast.’ It’s been an incredible journey.” said David Mancuso, President of Mancuso Show Management.

This Quilt Extravaganza has it all — a Merchant’s Mall for shopping sewing machines, fabrics, notions and more, an artist gallery of beautiful quilts and textiles on display, midday lectures and a fashion show, free product demonstrations, and workshops taught by a well known faculty. Everything for the quilt and textile artist as well as for those who just want to see an amazing presentation of textile masterpieces.

As part of this year’s Extravaganza, attendees will be able to view the entries from the 2023 juried & judged National Quilt Competition, themed “It’s a Quilt Thing” — If you are from the Philly area, then you know what that’s about. 

Admission for the general public is $17, includes re-admission, and can be purchased on-site during show hours only ($15, Sunday only). Accompanied children under the age of 16 are admitted free.

Discounts for groups of 20 or more can be arranged by contacting the office at (215) 862-5828 for details. The Merchants Mall and Quilt Show daily hours will be Thursday through Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
