We have experienced over 40 years of sharing the beauty, creativity, artistry, and history of quilt making. In this, our 42nd year, we are looking forward to a full agenda that celebrates the history of quilt making, including an exhibit of antique quilts, as well as the opportunities and direction of the modern quilter. Our program embraces the past and introduces the innovations created by new generations of quilters.

We will once again offer contests, classes, presentations, shopping, and exhibits for all to enjoy and experience. Our photographers will be on the scene capturing these moments as they take place and continuing to record for us the rich tradition we celebrate.

The Fields of Lupine Festival, now in its 24th year, is scheduled for June 1-30, 2018. Every nature and flower lover must see this, at least once.
In June, folks from far and near will flock to the Fields of Lupine Festival in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire. They come to admire, photograph, and walk through this amazingly brilliant field of lupines – literally thousands of lupines. It’s a rolling sea of vibrant purples, pinks, blues and whites. Just follow the paths carved through the fields. Take time to read the inspirational messages on the wooden signs along the trail. As a bonus, lupines attract equally dazzling butterflies, creating a magnificent floral display against the majestic backdrop of the Franconia, Presidential, and Kinsman Mountain ranges. You are guaranteed awesome photo opportunities.

Join Martha Stewart at the Newport Flower Show Opening Night Party on Friday, June 22, and a flower arranging demonstration on Saturday, June 23!

Gilded Age “cottages” were built with every convenience, designed for entertaining and to represent a lifestyle. Today’s cottages, much like their gilded ancestors, are also about lifestyle.  Join us to celebrate the tiniest of homes, which are smart in both technology and style.  The front lawn of Rosecliff will be transformed into a Tiny House Village, complete with four tiny homes and their adjacent sustainable gardens.  A Tiny Traveling Theater on the front lawn will host rotating pop-up lectures and demonstrations throughout the weekend.
