    Upper Cumberland Quilt Festival

    The Upper Cumberland Quilt Festival (U.C.Q.F.) was organized in 1988 as a major fund-raiser for the Algood Senior Citizens Center and has continued to be an annual event for the City of Algood and for the Upper Cumberland Region. It provides an opportunity for showcasing the quilts of women and men of the region, state and surrounding states.

    The U.C.Q.F. mission continues to be : “to preserve the art and heritage of quilting and related arts, showcase quilts and needle arts, and provide education and a meeting place of experts in the related fields”.

    The festival has grown each year in number and quality of quilts displayed, now numbering over 600 quilts each festival. Quilt Guilds from the Upper Cumberland have displayed their guild’s quilts in historic homes for the past several years. Attendees have been able to participate in a “Quilt Walk” to view quilts and homes. This has created interest not only in the fine quilts but also in the local architectural history of Algood. The latest project associated with the festival is the “Quilt Trail” where quilt patterns are painted on beautiful area barns.

    This festival has been made possible through the support of the community and Tennessee Arts Commission grants. Local school children have been involved in various ways through the years. Art Classes at Algood and Baxter Schools painted patterns on blocks to be attached to barns. Click here for the 2012 Schedule of Events.
