In 2008, Patchwork Show started as a small event w In 2008, Patchwork Show started as a small event with 25 vendors in a parking lot. Now, 17 years and over 100 shows later, it’s been incredible to witness the growth of both the event and the creative businesses that began here. Watching vendors build their livelihoods with their craft is by far the best part of the journey. From that first show to today, we’re proud to be part of a community that celebrates creativity, supports local makers, and grows together. 💛 NONE of this would possible without our amazing team and event staff over the years including our new show director @therealmooncactus.
