Judy Martin Luncheon and Induction Ceremony

Friday, July 24 • 12:00–2:00 pm • Matter Park Garden House, N River Rd & N Quarry Rd, Marion, IN Limited to 80 guests

Join us for the highlight of Celebration 2026 — the induction of Judy Martin into The Quilters Hall of Fame!

Following our celebratory luncheon, Judy’s husband, Steve Bennett will treat us to “Inside the Mind of Judy Martin from the Man Who Knows Her Best”” — a personal Powerpoint journey through Judy’s 57-year quilting career. A journey from teenage quilter, to editor at Quilter’s Newsletter and QuiltMaker magazines, to quilt book author, and eventually to Quilter’s Hall of Fame Honoree. He shows photos of lots of Judy’s quilts and highlights her contributions to the quilt culture along the way.

Also during the luncheon, we will present the Crystal Thimble Award to the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in recognition of their significant contributions to quilting heritage and community service.

Don’t miss this memorable afternoon celebrating the best of the quilting world!
