Oh it’s not lost. Look at the #quiltcon2025 hashtag. Joann closing is a result of mismanagement, not lack of customers.
Alicia Beth. I think this looks like Pink but no matter who it is, damn, this piece is AMAZING. It's big, it's intricate, it's just awesome. So much talent here.

Quilt titled Dignity by Veruschka Zarate An American Indian woman is pictured with a quilt held behind her. A quilt representation of the statue by DC Lamphere. Winner of best in show Beautiful intricate piecework! Artist statement: 360, double sided, FPP, Quilt of DC Lamphere's "Dignity" Statue, is a tribute to the fortitude of indigenous Peoples of this land. "Dignity stands as a sentinel, urging us with outstretched hands, wrapped in the powerful symbolism of a lone star quilt, to engage with esch other and the world around us with respect, unity and honor. "Dignity" stands as a reminder of our responsibility to each other and to the land we call home.
A quilt titled The Glass Ceiling is Broken but the Ladders Aren't Fixed by Robin Thomas Many ladders in various colors are shown on a white background. The ladders are twisted, have broken or missing rungs, or do not reach the top Artist statement: I have spent my career in a traditionally male industry and had to fight for a seat at the table that my male colleagues got by showing up. Recently I found that the young female engineers who work for me are facing some of the same issues I faced when I started over 30 years ago. It made me realize that the glass ceilings are broken but the ladders to the top are still treacherous. This quilt got my vote for viewer’s choice
Plus One by Debra Newhall An abstract shape in black is shown on a white background, with some of the sections made by the black abstract shape being filled with a teal color. The shape is vaguely floral to my eye Artist statement: Plus One is an exploration of black and white plus one more color. By limiting the palette of the piece, the focus of the quilt became shape and movement.
I Dissent by Karin Rabe The words “with fear for our democracy, I dissent. Justice Sotomayor” are quilted into a background that evokes an American flag. The top left has angled quilting in blue and the rest of the piece has red and white horizontal lines of quilting Artist statement: These words in Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent of the Supreme Court's verdict in Trump v. United States struck at the heart of my feelings about the majority's decision in the presidential immunity case. As of this writing, exactly one week prior to the 2024 presidential election, our democracy has never seemed so fragile. On July 4th of 2024, instead of grilling or otherwise celebrating, I started this project to capture her words in textile.
A few of my favorites from #quiltcon2025
I’m repeatedly blown away by the modern art quilts that people’s produce for the Cherrywood Fabric Challenges. I love seeing the collections all based on the same theme. Check out these poppies exhibited at #QuiltCon2025!
Last night at QuiltCon, we discovered the cocktail bar of our dreams.

Last day #quiltcon2025
Quilt with red legs and striped shoes on a blue background.
Artist’s description of her quilt. Levitation By Lisa Barnes Individual Member Quilted By Molly Kohler Levitation is machined pieced sewn with improvisational techniques. The leg outlines are pieced to look like they are marker drawn with spaces to show where the marker may have skipped revealing the background. The quilt commemorates my studio dog Midge. The legs and feet are from her vantage point, watching me sew. The cloud shaped quilt lines evoke a feeling of levitation and signifies her departure from this world. I miss you Midge E. Moo Techniques Used: Machine pieced, Improvisational piecing, Machine quilted on a frame (longarm)
My last day of QuiltCon Phoenix 2025. It was the first time a quilt I made was juried to a show. Seeing my Levitation quilt at QuiltCon was beyond my expectations. So much joy, laughter and happiness here. #quiltcon #quiltcon2025 #quiltsky #modernquilting #quilts
I was hoping to #fuckshitupwithjoy at #quiltcon2025, but I got what felt like 100s of positive reactions to my bag. Because let’s face it: all of those #felon47 subhumans are too chicken shit to actually say something to your face 😈
I’m very surprised that my trip to #quiltcon2025 was such a huge success, given my highly suspicious nature. This event is so unlike #PIQF, the 1 other convention center show that I’ve been to. Besides looking at all the incredible quilts, people are actually looking to connect, which is amazing 🤩

A hand sewn quilt, with the Chickasaw word Katihma visible.
This quilt is at #QuiltCon2025 - so it seems like a good time to share its inspiration.
I attended a lecture in 2023 that I had high hopes for. Learning about the quilting history of Native Americans is
challenging, an effect of systemic oppression of women and people of color.

Dieses uralte, verstaubte Hobby des Patchwork und Quilten geht auch in politisch!

#quiltcon2025 #bestinshow “Dignity” by Veruschka Zarate. Stunning. A well-deserved win.
Easily the biggest room I’ve ever been in. Easily the most tired my legs have ever been. Easily the most peace and acceptance I’ve ever encountered. The world will be ok as long as we take care of each other. #quiltcon2025 #cdmqg #mqg #modernquilting #quilting
Scott Culley quilt called Shadow
Finally got to see my friend Scott Culley’s quilt “Shadow” in person at the Wonderfil booth. It’s just fantastic in person and so deserved it’s First Place award last year.

The Handi Quilter team is excited to post more quilts from #QuiltCon2025! Videos will be posted under this hashtag, with each quilt getting its own post.
A quilter stands in front of his original quilt design, “Red Giant,” displayed at QuiltCon 2025 as part of the show’s fabric challenge. The quilt features bold red, gray, and black hues arranged in a striking geometric pattern. The quilter wears a smile, proud of his creation, as the vibrant design contrasts against the backdrop of the exhibition.
The quilter and longarm quilter, Lacie of Messy Quilts, stand together in front of the “Red Giant” quilt, holding hands apart in a celebratory pose. The quilt’s intricate edge-to-edge quilting is visible, showcasing Lacie’s craftsmanship. Both quilters smile, marking the collaborative effort behind the finished piece.
A printed artist statement displayed at QuiltCon alongside the “Red Giant” quilt. The statement reads as follows: Inspired by the Sun's "Red Giant" phase, set to begin in 5.4 billion years, uses Windham Fabric's Ruby+Bee solids in Poppy, Slate, and Stormy. Strip and curve piecing techniques create layered arches and curves, evoking a "lava ocean* view of the Sun on the horizon. A 1980s retro palette heightens the dimensional effect, reflecting my fascination with space, its celestial marvels, and cataclysmic transformations. Techniques Used: Machine pieced, Machine quilted on a frame (longarm)
A Red Giant star spotted in Phoenix 🔴 A very proud day seeing my quilt hang in the Fabric Challenge at #QuiltCon2025. The heart is so full! A big congrats is shared with my longarm quilter, Lacie of Messy Quilts.
