The National Quilting Association (NQA) exists to service the quilting community by holding quilt shows, offering teacher and judge certification programs and assisting quilters with a grant and scholarship program. It holds its annual quilt show in Columbus, Ohio.

The Quilting Quarterly, its national magazine, is published five times a year. Its mission statement says, "The National Quilting Association promotes the art, craft, and legacy of quilt making, encouraging high standards through education, preservation, and philanthropic endeavors."

History of the NQA

The National Quilting Association had humble beginnings, with just seven founding members. Their first quilt show was held in September of 1970 at the Greenbelt, Maryland Public Library.
