QuiltCon 2015: Charity Quilts
There is so much to say about QuiltCon...the quilts, the classes, the food and of course the people/community.... I did not enter any quilts into QuiltCon, but I did play a small part in three charity quilts that were on exhibit.
One of the special exhibits at QuiltCon was Pieced With Love: The Quilts of do. Good Stitches showcasing twelve do. Good Stitches {a charity bee} quilts. I was excited to learn that one of the selected quilts was from our Wish Circle. Geese in the Round (quilted by Caitlin) was one of the first Wish Circle quilts I participated in...see my block there in the bottom right corner?!
Our OrlandoMQG members made blocks which were assembled into this QuiltCon Challenge Charity quilt. All the challenge quilts were hanging in two of the ballrooms. I was unable to get pictures of all the charity quilts, but I did take pictures of more than half. I uploaded a Flipgram video on instagram if you want to see more. If you search the hashtag #52QGoestoQuiltCon, you should find it.
Since I'm on the MQG Charity Committee, I wanted to also participate in the Region 4 QuiltCon charity quilt with several individual MQG members from my region. I met two of them at QuiltCon but sadly didn't get a group picture with our quilt.
I am still decompressing from my QuiltCon experience, as well as still unpacking from that trip, so I plan to spread out my blog posts detailing my week in Austin.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Thanks for stopping by,
