QuiltCon 2024 (Cheri)

I went to QuiltCon last week.

I realized that I had failed to adequately describe QuiltCon to Mark when he asked "How many of the quilts were 'modern'?"  That's actually the point of QuiltCon . . . all "modern" quilts.

I loved the quilt above.

Most readers won't understand the distinction, but it's worth pointing out that the entire quilt was pieced, rather than appliqued.  I can only aim for that excellence.

I decided to do something with the blog posts from QuiltCon, mixing genres and experience pictures.  Here is a quick picture of a fun bit of the exterior of the Raleigh Convention Center, where the conference was held:

The attendees were a lot different than you see at most quilt shows and conferences.  Particularly on Saturday, I saw lots of kids in the 10-22 years old range, and quite a few boys.

These vendors mixed old and new in their outfits:

I really loved that you see two ends of the conference-attending spectrum here . . . what you probably expect on the left, and another someone on the right:

I didn't even realize until I was editing pictures, but the jacket on the younger woman has a great saying.  I'm sure I would like her!

So a warning here.  I'm closing today's post with two political quilts.  The first probably won't make anyone sad or angry.  The second, made by a really nice lady from San Francisco, may do just that.
