QuiltCon Phoenix | The Beginning

Where to even start? QuiltCon 2025 was just a delight in every way. I traveled and attended with my daughter Rachel @snippetsofsweetness, and we headed out with the Cargo Duffles we'd made for our first QuiltCon, back in 2015!

Our first full day started off with breakfast at Press Coffee, which served up great iced coffees, and equally delicious breakfast empanadas. We enjoyed the whole package so much, we went back for more each day until we left Phoenix.

We were fortunate enough to stay in a hotel just a couple of blocks from the convention center, and had a great view of downtown Phoenix from our room.

If I have a regret about QuiltCon, it's only that I didn't take enough photos with people! There were so many great connections, and all I have to show for them from Day 1 is a plate of my avocado tacos (yum!) at lunch at Blanco Cocina with Ellyn @ellynz.....

and a picture that Rachel actually took at Floor 13 Rooftop Bar, where we met up with Bee Sewcial.

We also attended classes and saw lots of quilts - which I will share in separate posts. It was a VERY full day, proven by my Fitbit tracker. But what a great start to QuiltCon 2025.
