The festival is produced by Mancuso Show Management, organizers of a number of large-scale quilt exhibitions including the two-city World Quilt and Textile: On Tour. The 2003 WQ&T shows drew entries from nine nations on four continents, and plans are already underway for the 2004 shows in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Manchester, New Hampshire. As in the past, each venue will feature workshops and lectures with instructors and special exhibitions of works from around the world.
