We spent the last weekend having a blast at the first inaugural
QuiltCon. Lucky for us, it was in our own backyard so we didn't have to travel too far! QuiltCon, a conference celebrating modern quilting, was presented by the
Modern Quilt Guild in Austin, Texas. The four-day conference consisted of a quilt show filled with vendor booths,
lectures by industry leaders and
workshops taught by creative and talented professionals in the quilting industry. Four days filled with modern quilty fun!
We posted a
video recap of the event and added a bunch of photos from the show to
Flickr and
Facebook. Poke around, it will feel like you were there with us!

Throughout the weekend, we saw inspiring quilts and heard lectures from the brightest minds in modern quilting. The show was filled with quilts, entered in different categories like
Large Applique and
Minimalist Design – Large Quilts, which we sponsored. Each quilt was well crafted and well designed.
The lectures all centered around modern quilting but highly varied in theme. From Quilt Guilds as Nonprofits to Publishing your Work in Magazines to All About Fabric Design, the lectures thoroughly covered all areas of modern quilting. The keynote, by
Denyse Schmidt, followed her life and career and we left inspired. If you weren't able to attend the lectures, be sure to check out Craftsy's
QuiltCon Lecture Series and watch the featured lectures for free!
The weekend left us filled with ideas and anxiously awaiting the next QuiltCon! Did you attend this year? What did you think of the conference? If not, will you attend the next event? Let us know in the comments below to win a bag of swag from the event! We are giving away a
Robert Kaufman tote, five
Andover charm packs and autographs from

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 276 Newer› Newest»No, I couldn't attend this year ! IT would a dream for a chance to attend next year especially if the finances are set AND if I don't spend all of my mad quilt money on other creative projects like you just listed. Cheers!
It's great that there's a show geared towards modern quilting. And thanks for sharing pictures of the quilts! I really liked the 3rd place winner "Retro Modern Shapes". It's unlikely I'll get a chance to attend next year myself, but I enjoy looking through all the eye candy!
I would love to attend QuiltCon and maybe one day I will - what a great dream to have. It looks like inspiration overload!
Looks like you had a blast from all the pics I saw posted from QuiltCon. I didn't attend due to distance as well as still learning. I would love to attend at some point and maybe it will be close enough to me one day to attend. Thanks for the chance to win a bag of swag from the event!
Oh, I badly wanted to go! I think it's such an important event, a big move for modern quilting/-ers. Maybe next year. I wish I could BUY a charm pack of the Pearl Bracelets like you are giving away! Maybe I will get lucky. :)
Wish I could have went, my birthday was on Saturday! But I didn't have any vacation from work left, I used it all up to spend the holidays at home with my now 8-month old!
I so would love to be able to attend one of these!
I didn't attend this year. Tha tis not in my budget to be able to go to these types of events. But I really do wish I could attend all of these. It looks like such an awesoem place to be with so many creative people & quilts and new products. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
It is on my bucket list!
I did not attend but definitely would love to go next year if I can! It looked wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win!
I attended, and it was very well organized and tons of fun! The quilts displayed were amazing to see in person after seeing some of them on blogs. My only disappointment was reading that it will only recur every other year. Fantastic!
How wonderful to attend! So much inspiration everywhere - thanks for sharing the pictures.
It would be a dream come true for me to attend such an event as QuiltCon! I would be in the quilters idea of Disney World!
I did not attend in person but by Instagram! I really got the sense of a well run show that really catered to the individual quilter. The workshops looked amazing! I loved the personal touches like the ribbons, swag bags, photo booths etc that really reflected the fun creative and colorful side of modern quilters! I loved that front and center everywhere were the charity quilts that contained blocks from everywhere. I especially loved how one of my blocks literally hung over the head of every fabulous lecturer! I just wish I could have been there with my quilt. But the many pictures people posted of it let me see how wonderfully it was displayed. In a previous traditional quilt show my quilt was hanging 1/3 laying onthe floor! But thanks to instagram and some prolific and a little racy photog quilters I almost felt like I was there. I just need the swag!
I love all your pictures of the event :) I have never been to QuiltCon, but I'd love to go! I think it would be so inspiring to see everything
As I could not attend, I really enjoy seeing all the creativity of modern quilters.
No did not attend, but sure have enjoyed all the "ideas" floating around blog land....
I did not attend, but I would love to next year, and possibly even have an entry one day! thank you for the pictures on facebook.
I would love to go to QuiltCon but I live too far away so I must live vicariously through you wonderful bloggers. Would love, love, love to win a bag of swag!!!! Thanks for being so generous.
I am drooling as I look at all of the pictures. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing more. I would love to attend but living in California makes it kind of hard. One day :-/
Didn't go this year but would go next if its in a more central location.
I have not got to attend but I would love to. thanks for the chance
i didn't attend this year, but anxiously watched several of my favorite blogs for updates and ideas. would love if a publication came out of all the beautiful work!! look forward to seeing dates for the next opportunities. i'd love to win some of the beautiful fabrics!
I would have loved to have been there.
I didn't get to attend this event, but would love to someday. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I did not attend but wanted to. I can't wait to see what will all happen with the modern quilt movement. Some of the guild members went and I can't wait to hear what they did.
I was there all 4 days and loved it. I'm looking forward to 2015!
I did not attend this year but would love to. Hopefully it will be in the budget next year. ;)
I would love to be able to attend and one year hope to do so. Until then, I have enjoyed the postings and photos to get a feel for everything that was happening
I couldn't go this year, but I'm determined to go next time! christina112358 at gmail dot com
I attended and loved the whole event. Inspiration was around every corner. I will definitely return in 2015

My health did not allow me to attend this year, even though I planned to. I hope to be present for the next one!
loving all of your updates! I did not get to attend this year but would love to next time!
I wish I could have went. It looked like it was so much fun. I'm definitely hopefully I can go next time.
I wasn't able to attend due to the distance and my finances. I am hoping it will come closer some day and then maybe I can go. I sure have enjoyed on the pictures and comments on different blogs related to it.
I did not get to attend. I teach first grade and so don't get to attend things like that, since they always seem to be when I am working. Maybe when I retire, I can go to the shows and attend my quilt guild meetings!
I enjoyed the pictures and Craftsy's videos. I may want to go next year, but I'm more of a traditional quilter. It would be fun. 3241 seduwr

Great post and photos! I doubt that I would have the opportunity to go, but love seeing reports from those who were there!
I would love to be able to go to something like this. It's so hard to save up my money, though, when you have such cute things in your shop! I am really glad that Craftsy has put some of the lectures up for everyone to see. And I've loved seeing all the blog posts written since people have returned home.
I got to go, but only to the show. Really wished I had taken a workshop or two though. It was my first quilt show/conference and I absolutely LOVED it! I cannot wait until 2015 when QuiltCon will be back!
I did not get to attend, but I followed along on Twitter and Instgram. If I have a job (and therefore the extra $$$) in 2015, I won't be able to get off work (school schedule). If I don't have a job, then no $$$. What a vicious cycle :-(
Unfortunately I didn't get to g, but I got to sew a little this weekend. Hopefully the next one! Thanks for the great recap!!
wish i could go, but college is too hard to skip out on
I did attend. That was my retirement gift to myself. It was wonderful. I loved my classes, the lectures were great, the vendors well stocked, and the sponsors very generous. I hope to attend the next one, too. I'll have to figure out what my excuse will be.
I did not get to go this year would love to be able to attend the next one. Thanks for the chance to win some swag!!
Some friends from my MQG got to go and I look forward to their reports. I hope to go some day. I would LOVE to win a prize! :) I am a new quilter, just one year, so getting new fabrics and toys would be great fun! :)
I was at QuiltCon and it was fabulous!!! Great workshops and lectures, demos and vendors---looking forward to the 2015 event!
I would love to go, but I don't like flying and that would be a long drive from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Would love to attend next year since this year timing was difficult. The photos you shared give us a "taste" of a wonderful event.
I didn't make it this year - not enough vacation time... but everyone's pictures look amazing!! And I wish I'd at least entered a quilt - those prize ribbons are awesome. See you there in 2015 I hope!
One day!!
It is a very long way to fly from down here!
I did not get to go this time around but would love to go next time!
I'm in Canada so need to plan ahead a bit but would love to go to Quilt Con one day. It is still very inspiring though with all of the photos and quilts! Thanks for posting so many, I love seeing them!!
I am really getting into modern quilting, so I would really love to go to the next quiltcon! I've been eagerly reading the tidbits from my blogger list and cheering on those who entered quilts!
I am new to quilting and get so excited to see what all you "professionals" are doing! Thanks for sharing and inspiring me!

No I wasn't able to attend - it sounds wonderful though and best of show was such a great quilt among others.
I would love to win - I love everything from the Fat Quarter Shop :)
I couldn't attend this time, but I would love to attend next time. The quilts, classes, and lectures look amazing. I am going to the International Quilt Festival in Houston in November.
How exciting to attend! Wish I could have been there, but unfortunately, live too far away. Really enjoyed looking at the photos on your blog and getting inspired by the beautiful quilts. QuiltCon looks like a quilting paradise! Would love to have a bag of swag from there!!! Thanks so much for sharing.
I would love to attend this show - I hope I can go next year!
Awww, man, I couldn't go! And it's kinda rough with everyone rubbing it in about what a fab time they all had. :(
I will probably never get to go but I appreciate all the coverage.
I wasn't able to attend, but it looks like there was some awesome stuff there. Maybe next year...
I missed it this year, with my two little ones and my husband in training, but I will definitely be marking it in my calender for next year as soon as I get the dates.
I did not attend - but have been enjoying the blogs of people who did get to go.
I would LOVE to get there one year ... but alas, I think that'll take a whole lot of planning with my hubs to manage :)
I went, and I loved it! It was such an inspiring weekend, and I met some great people. My husband, daughter, and I had enough frequent flyer miles for three round-trip tickets, so we turned it in to a family vacation.
I got to go! It was awesome seeing Tula Pink's "Gridlocked" in person! I loved the demos but wish I had signed up for lectures or workshops (decided to go last minute.)
No, I couldn't attend. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful pictures! Someday I will be able to go on trips
I did not attend this year, but I'd love to be able to go sometime in the future.
I didn't go but it sure looks like a lot of fun so maybe next year!
I couldn't attend, but I sure hope to some day. I've been looking at all the pictures on various places on the web and it sure looks like inspiring fun! Thanks for sharing pictures and swag!
Yes I was there! It was wonderful!!! I will definitely be at the next one in 2015!
I didn't go, but it sounds like fun! Maybe next time!
I didn't go to quilt con and don't think I'll get to go anytime soon. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wasn't there, but would have loved to be there. I love the colors and vibe of the show. Terrific.
I didn't attend this year, but it looks like a great event! Looking forward to seeing more information about the next event!
I didn't attend QuiltCon this year but I would love to go next year. Maybe it will happen for me!

I wasn't able to attend this year because of our 10 month old baby girl. I am hoping to attend next year, but will also have a new six month old at that time. I love Austin and I am so inspired by the pics you have posted. My family may have to kiss me goodbye as I get to working on new projects!

I don't think I will ever get to Quiltcon, but thanks to all those bloggers who share photos with the rest of us - it looks amazing!
No, I didnt get to go but thank yall so much for sharing. What a great event! And thank you for the chance at the giveaway!
I didn't get to go this year because I'm taking a trip to SC to surprise my mom for Mother's Day this year. Next year, for sure!!! At least that's the plan :) Love seeing all the pics! Thanks for sharing.
My fiance and I did the day pass option on Saturday. I would like to be able to go for the lectures and classes next time.
Fun!
I didn't go to Quiltcon this year, but I NEED to go next year! Thanks for the giveaway!
I didn't get to attend this year but kept up thru the pictures. Hopefully the next year is in my future.
I couldn't go but thanks for all the pictures-- it's the next best thing to being there.
Only vicariously ;) I loved their patchwork ribbons awarded to quilts, looks like everyone had fun!
I wasn't able to attend this year and it looked so wonderful. I do want to go next year and hope the scheduling works out. Thanks for the great give away chance.
I'd love to go but I don't think it will really happen. That's why it is so wonderful to live vicariously through blog posts !!
Would have liked to attend.,it looks amazing!
Thanks for the recap - next best thing to being there. Keeping my fingers crossed for the giveaway!
I didn't get to go, but it looks fun. I would love to go next year.
I wasn't able to go but I feel like I was there! I was constantly on Instagram waiting for new #quiltcon pictures to come up from bloggers that I follow. I hope the next one is in Austin again because I will be going for sure! My husband has orders to Fort Hood (we are coming home Texas!) in August and Austin is only a 45 minute drive. I was so inspired by all of the pictures of the quilts I saw and I wish I could have been there to listen and learn from the lectures, meet some of my quilting idols, and meet ya'll! I seriously can't wait to get back to Texas!
Yes I did! In fact my sister is in one of the photos in this post! How fun. Can't wait till the next one!!!
I didn't attend but would LOVE to. It's a long way from Australia but would be so very worth the trip!! I have just loved seeing so much of QuiltCon shared - thank goodness for blogs :)
I didn't get to go and but I haven't given up hope since my husband is kind of fond of Austin - if not, I do like to take solo road trips sometimes so I think Austin 2015 just might be a pipe dream worth having!
Thank you for the giveaway!
I loved the Quiltcon! I have been to the Quilt Show in Houston the last few years and really loved the spin Austin has put on our own quilt show. Looking forward to it growing for years to come.
No, I could not attend - it's a long way from where I live - but I've enjoyed what I have seen everyone share - thanks for the pics and info.
Looks like a lot of fun and inspiration!! Wish I was there...I guess it's good to have dreams!!!
I WISH I could have went!!
No, couldn't go but surely would have loved to!
I couldn't attend this year but hopefully will get to one in the future. Great giveaway!
My friend and I did attend the QuiltCon show. It was great! Took lots of pictures! I will go again!

I enjoyed every photo. Thank you so much. I really liked the wedding ring quilt. So current.
I didn't go this year because it is too far away. If it was closer, I would go!
Thanks for the great pictures!
Sandy A
Wish I had attended. Am inspired by the Michael Miller fabrics - especially the yellow,grey and blues. A must have.
I didn't make it this year but hoping very much to make it next year. this year I guess the lqs shop hop will have to work
I was very fortunate to be able to attend! I loved it!! It was so fun and very well thought out. I can't wait for the next one!!
I didn't get to attend this year but hoping I can make it next year.
I would love to go to the next quilt con! Thanks for sharing all the pictures - the Rainbow Rocks quilt by Kathleen Baden is my favorite!
I'd love to try to go to the next QuiltCon. It looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the chance to win!
I did not attend the conference...the hard part is sometimes knowing your schedule so far ahead and being willing to miss important kid/school functions if they end up on the same day? I like some of the dates for the SewDowns, especially the ones at the beginning of the school year - not so many conflicts. Thanks for sharing all the photos.
I wasn't able to attend this year, maybe next.....we all have dreams! Thank for the chance.
Looks le a great time. It is hard to budget for these trips when so much fabric is calling my name!! Maybe if it is close. I try to go to local quilt shows.
dpackech@yahoo.com
I would have loved to attend!! Maybe next year? Looks like a fabulous time!!!
HI! Looks like everyone had a Blast!
Nope,couldn't make it this year!
Thanks for the photos!
Thanks for the neat Giveaway too!

I did not attend this year but I would love to next year. I just started quilting in December. I didn't even know that modern quilting existed before I started the research for my new hobby. Now I am hooked. I have made three quilts and 5 mug rugs. I have been an occasional sewer since the 70s. Made a nine patch quilt top in traditional fabrics in the 90s but just didn't feel it and could never get the motivation to quilt it. Now that I found my style I can't stop sewing.
The pictures of quiltcon look fantastic. I would love to go sometime. Thanks for giving me a chance to win!
I wasn't able to attend, but so glad you brought QuiltCon to my doorstep. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow this sounds like it was a fabulous conference. Thanks for sharing so many pictures. All the quilts are beautiful!
I did not attend. I would have loved to have gone.
I wasn't able to attend! Would love to go the next time. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks so much for bringing a slice of QuiltCon to those of us who could not be there! I feel inspired!
I'm hoping to get to go one year! Always looks like so much fun and a great place to learn. Thanks for sharing the pictures - I knew you would and I was looking forward to it!
Sadly I didn't get to go. I'm hoping 2015 will be different!!
Yes I was there! Got lots of goodies from the wonderful sponsors. Wonderful quilts. Can't wait for the next show!
I was able to attend with five others from our area. It was spectacular from the lectures to the quilt show to the workshops. And on top of that exhibitors and vendors. Thank you for participating.
I did not go as I'm so new to quilting that I just found out about it. I hope to attend sometime in the future!
I did not attend this year but would love to next year!
lisamcgriff (at) hotmail (dot) com
I went and loved it! Hopefully the next one will be close enough I can drive to it too. Crossing my fingers
Sadly didn't attend Quiltcon but have enjoyed all the pictures and stories from the blogs. Maybe next time.
I couldn't be there this time, but I would love to be there the next time around. Those from our guild that went seemed to have a great time!
I wasn't able to go this year but hope to attend in 2015-it looks like a fun time was had by all.
No I did not attend and may never be able to but so do enjoy living vicariously through everyone's pics.
I would love to attend, but unfortunately it is a bit too far away from Germany, so I probably won't be able to go in 2015.
I would love to attend, but living quite far away, i probably won't be able to participate. I do love to take part of the pictures, creating ideas and inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
I would love to attend me too, but from Italy it's too far away!
I dream to go one day,
b.zanninelli@gmail.com
Never been, but hope to be at one of these someday----preferably as a book-signing quilt designer! Thanks for the giveaway!
It would be lovely to attend, but I'm loving the craftsy videos.
I live in New Zealand so it is not something on the cards for me, but I do enjoy reading all about it!
To be able to attend would be a dream! However, living on a part-time income, that luxury is not available to me. {sigh}
I'd love to one day. I'm off to craftsy to try to feel part of it all
I did not attend, but followed online. Living in Europe I very much doubt I'll be able to attend the next one but maybe some time in the future I'll make it.
I'm in Australia, so it's a bit too far for me to attend in person, so I've had to attend virtually instead. Maybe one day......
I'd love to attend, but I did not this year because we don't have school holidays. I can only make it to QuiltCon if German school holidays fall together with QuiltCon week. Wish me luck for next year!
I wasn't able to attend, in fact, I've never attended a big quilt show, only smaller, local ones. Just looking at those delicious booths is overwhelming...it's making me drool! Thanks for sharing your adventure with those who couldn't make it!
I wish I could have gone and one day I will!! My favourite thing has been seeing all of the great quilt photos on various blogs and the fact that everyone who went has said what a great event it was. I have no idea how the judges choose a winner because all the quilts I have seen photos of have been beautiful x
I didn't go, but I would love to. Reality is that it's probably a few more years before I possibly could.
I would love to go to the next one - everything I've read sounds so amazing!
I didn't go this year, but would Love to go next year after seeing all the great ideas and fabrics on your post!
I don't know if I will ever get to QuiltCon so I'm enjoying all the blog posts about it. So much talent out there, it boggles the mind. Thanks for the chance to win these treasures!
I would love to attend a quilt show, but not sure I ever will. Like some of the others said, though, I love looking at the beautiful photos. sdorsey@psln.com
I am jealous of those of you who attended. I wish I could attend a future event, but I doubt that will happen. Thanks for the chance to win a bag of goodies.
I didn't find out about this one until about a month ago, and couldn't get out there. But my mom and I are definitely planning on a road trip from GA to go next year! Looks awesome. Thank you for sharing!!
I did not get to attend but hope to someday. rkbiggs at yahoo dot com
I wasn't able to attend this year, but I am watching for news of next year's dates! Can't wait to go in person!!
I wasn't able to attend but it sure looks like it was fun! Thanks for a chance to win some goodies!
I did not attend and not sure that I will next year. If I lived closer, I would love to attend and to be inspired.
I so wish I could have been there! But thanks for posting photos - it's the next best thing!
I wish I could have gone, how cool would that have been!? I'm watching the lectures on Craftsy though.
I am just starting to dabble in modern quilting and your pictures are fun! We are so lucky for the internet to provide us with tons of inspiration....thanks!
Would love to go. It sounds like such fun.
I didn't know this event, I'd like to see it once in my life... thank you so much for this generous giveaway
I did not attend QuiltCon this year. I enjoyed seeing the many photos that have been posted. Unfortunately I will most likely not attend because of finances. Thanks for keeping us updated.
I didn't attend this year. I would love to attend but most likely can not afford to travel. I do enjoy the posts from the ones who are lucky enough to go. It makes me feel like I am almost there. Thank you and thanks for the chance to win some wonderful gifts. Love Love Love the tote.
Shawn
I would definitely consider going to the next one. I love all things quilts!
I didn't attend but it looks like so much fun! I would like to attend because it looks exciting and warmer than ILLINOIS
Looks like a lot of fun. I would love to go but don't have any extra funds for travel.
I didn't get to attend this year. Quite a few people from my guild (PMQG) attended and I've heard nothing but great things about the event! I would definitely attend the next QuiltCon! It's in 2015 right!? Thanks for the great giveaway ~ it's really generous!
I couldn't attend this year, but it looked like fun! I guess I will have to wait and see where it is next year!
I was lucky enough to attend and thought it was a great show - especially considering it was the first year. I am planning on attending the next one and hope to attend one of the SewDown's as well.
No I couldn't attend. Having to go to work got in the way! I would love to go sometime. Maybe I'll need to look into getting time off next year!
Did not go to Quiltcon, but I would love to go next year! It looks like such fun!
I did not go nor will I probably get there next year. Some us have to be armchair dreamers, right? I am loving the look of the new modern quilts and have embraced lots of clean white backgrounds and gray as neutral in my latest quilts.
Linda
I wasn't able to go this year due to a sick family member but already am planning for 2015 and can't wait!
I really enjoyed the pictures and lectures they posted on Craftsy.
Have not had the opportunity to attend, but look at all that inspiration! Beautiful colors!
No, didn't get to attend, darn. Looks like it was amazing.
I would love to be able to attend someday!
I didn't attend but enjoyed catching some photos of it! Can't wait for the next one!
I was not able to take time off to attend, but hopefully will be able to next year, wherever it is going to be held.
I was unable to attend; however, I wish I did. The photos look awesome! Hope to attend in the future.
Thank you for sharing the lovely pictures with us. It looks like it was so much fun. Sadly, I wasn't able to attend this year, but I hope to make it there next time. I've already been stalking the QuiltCon website for details on the next event....no postings on it yet.!
I was not able to attend Quilt Con this time but will definitely make every effort to attend the next one.
I would LOVE to go, but I won't be able to afford it for a couple more years. I can't wait to see your ideas!!
I didn't go this year, but maybe next year if the timing and location is right! I currently use these beautiful fabrics to make dresses and skirts for my daughters. I am hoping to take up quilting soon!
I didn't attend but it looks like it would have been very inspiring!
I got to go on Sunday and it was wonderful. Really did not know what to expect but it was great! Love the whole thing. I am a traditional quilter but I loved looking at the quilts and brights! Made me look at things so much differently. So glad that I went! Did not get to make any lectures but loved the demos on the floor! A great Day! I would not have gone if I had not heard about it in one of your emails!
Since Texas isn't vey close to Wisconsin, I did not attend this year's QuiltCon - but I got a chance to see and be inspired by your pictures (and those posted on other blogs as well)! Thanks for the give away!
Sad to say, but I was not able to attend this Quiltcon. But maybe next year! Looks like a great place to be 'inspired'. And yes, I would Love to Win Swag! Thanks for the chance.
I wasn't able to attend this year--my sweetheart scheduled his shoulder replacement for the very same week, darn it--but I was just thinking that I should write it on next year's calendar in ink.
I didn't get to go, but it sure looks inspirational. Thanks for the chance.
Didn't get to go, but love seeing all the photos!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures. I did not go, but it looks like a terrific event.
Not this year (sigh) but keeping it on the radar for a future time. Love the pictures and comments. sounds wonderful.
Loved seeing the photos ! I must try to make this next year !
cottonwoodcc@hotmail.com
Looks like you had lots of fun. LOVE the bag of SWAG! Thanks for sharing the pics and I hope to go next time.
