QuiltCon Entries

So yesterday the QuiltCon notifications went out in a flurry of emails! I got two 'not chosen' emails, and then a pause, so I told hubby, "I entered three, so hopefully there's a 'selected' email still coming," and happily I was right. So those that won't be traveling to QuiltCon 2024 are....

Albersesque, my latest Bee Sewcial group quilt, 


and Split Second, which was made for the Windham Artisan Cotton 2024 Challenge.


Duality will be going to QuiltCon, and hang in the Minimalist Design category. With 2342 quilts submitted, the most ever, and just 470 chosen, I'm feeling more than fortunate to have Duality accepted.



A while back Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl shared her QuiltCon entry stats over the years, and I thought I'd like to do that as well. So if you don't mind....

  6. Congratulations! I'm so happy you'll have a quilt for me to look at in Raleigh! Minimalist too. That's great! Love seeing your statistics. Gosh, I never thought to do that... but I don't think I could recreate mine anyway. I'm just grateful to get A quilt accepted! Best wishes for a QC award!

  7. Congrats! Getting even one in appears to get harder and harder. Though I do not want to be the jury either ;) xo
