Big News About Our Quilt Gallery!

Our new and improved Quilt Gallery is launching early next week—and while we’re a little nostalgic, our current gallery will soon be retired to make way for a more streamlined, easier-to-navigate experience. This is just Phase 1 (yes, more goodness is coming!), so you’ll see continued improvements rolling out over time.

A Quick Heads Up: Star Members won’t be able to add quilts right at launch—but don’t worry, that feature is coming in the next few weeks. In the meantime, if you’d like to see your quilts in the new gallery on day one, be sure to upload them to the current gallery before Midnight PT on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.


Get ready… it’s almost time to explore!

Featured Quilt - Second Place Small Quilts at QuiltCon 2026


Joyful Study: Energy by Sarah Campbell won Second Place - Small Quilts (Sponsored by Figo Fabrics) at QuiltCon 2026. Sarah says about how she came up with her quilt: "In Heidi Parkes' Quiltmaking course, one suggested book to read was Joyful by Ingrid Fetell Lee. I became curious about how to create a quilt that implements the design elements and principles described in each chapter to produce feelings of joy in the person seeing it. In this quilt, I experiment with color and value (light) to evoke energetic, joyful feelings in viewers. How does it make you feel?"

Textile Talks: Quilts That Speak - What History Has Buried

Letting The Quilts Tell The Story


Presented by the Surface Design Association: "Join us on April 15 at 2PM EDT as we celebrate the publication of Quilt of Souls: A Memoir by Phyllis Biffle-Elmore. Quilts have long held the heartbeat of storytelling and the passing down of oral history. Phyllis’ grandmother Lula Young Horn (1883-1988) told her the stories embedded in her Quilts of Souls. As a master quilter – Grandmother Lula only made quilts from the clothing of deceased family members, friends, and neighbors. Each piece of clothing contained stories of how their lives were lived and these quilts carried the stories of their demise."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Natural Art Quilt

"Give Me Nature" by Carol Ann McCandless


Give Me Nature is Carol Ann's first art quilt, and since making it she has loved working on art quilts ever since. Seeing the different possibilities available to her, the art quilt granted Carol Ann the creative ability to come up with whatever design she liked, including the both realistic and whimsical concept she brought to life using flowers, dragonflies., and a natural landscape in Give Me Nature.
