Secret Garden Theme for 2026

Turn in date will be July 16, 2026 for our next Mancuso PA show scheduled for September 17-20, 2026. Since so many of you mentioned time management as the barrier to getting a quilt done on time to submit, there is no time like the present to get started on the next theme.

Secret Garden:

The Art Quilt Association members explore what creates their perfect secret garden. Is it the hidden entrance? A secret urban oasis or one that requires a hike to a favorite wild meadow?   Is it the special peace of a reflecting pool or trickle of water that soothes us and the birds, wildlife, faeries, and ogres alike who sneak in? is it nature’s unexpected display secluded from the chatter of the outside world? Or is it the promise of summer beauty in the depths f winter? Or perhaps just the joy of digging into the soil that supports these flower and plant strewn places? So many secrets for AQuA to share.
