QuiltCon

Congratulations to IEMQG member Kelley Bachli for getting accepted into QuiltCon!

Kelly was accepted into the Windham Fabrics Challenge. Her quilt,”Gear Box” takes one block and distorts it into different shapes. Her quilting amplifies the distortion to make her quilt a real show stopper! Only about 20 percent of the submissions to QuiltCon 2024 were accepted this year.

Congratulations Kelley!!!
