About the Holiday Quilt Show and Auction

For over two decades, the Holiday Quilt Show and Auction has been a major source of funding to further the Deseret Foundation's mission.

In 1983, several women who valued the rich cultural heritage of quilt making organized the show, which has now raised funds in excess of $2.3 million. Each year, hundreds of women volunteer their time, talent, and resources to create handmade quilts for the auction.

Our mission is to enhance the field of medicine by providing funding for medical research, education, equipment and facilities throughout the greater Salt Lake area.

By supporting this event, you will not only assist in preserving the cultural heritage of quilt making, but also in the commitment to medical excellence that has been Intermountain Health Care's guiding principle since LDS Hospital opened in 1905.

We meet the 4th Tuesday of every month at:

The Colonial House
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
259 East and 7th Avenue
Hope to see you there!
