QuiltCon 2024 is the large modern quilt exhibition and convention hosted by The Modern Quilt Guild in Raleigh, North Carolina from 22 - 25 February. Photos of the award winning quilts can be found on Instagram, Facebook and on the MQG website: https://quiltcon.com/quiltcon-2024-winners
The Best of Show was awarded to Ginny Robinson for ‘What We Will Use as Weapons: A List of School Supplies’, a powerful commentary on school shootings in the US.
Most of the entries and award winners came from the United States, but others came from a number of other countries, including Australia. Tara Glastonbury from Melbourne won a second place award in the Super Scrappy Challenge with her quilt ‘Multifarious Me’. The category rules required a minimum of 30 different fabrics to be included in the quilt. You can find Tara on Instagram @stitchandyarn, and on Facebook at Stitch and Yarn, where she has also shared photos and information about other Australian exhibitors.
Lorena Uriarte from Sydney was invited to make the QuiltCon 2024 raffle quilt, ‘Caminito’ (Spanish for ‘little laneway’). The quilt was pieced by Lorena, machine quilted by Cat Jones from Tasmania, with additional hand quilting by Lorena. You can see more detail and photos in Lorena’s Instagram post @lorena_in_sydney.
The Peoples’ Choice award, announced at the end of the show on Sunday was won by Irina Timofeeva from the Russian Federation for her very clever quilt ‘White Babbles’, which can be seen on Instagram, Facebook and the QuiltCon website and Instagram.
Congratulations to the award winners, all the entrants and to The Modern Quilt Guild.
