Featured Quilt - Best Original Modern Design at QuiltCon 2026


Parallax, a collaboration by Danielle Stanfill and Rachel Orr, won Best Original Modern Design (Sponsored by A Gathering of Stitches) at QuiltCon 2026. Here's how Danielle described the process of working with Rachel to create this stunningly original quilt. "This collaborative piece serves as an invitation to explore the convergence of two aesthetic lenses. One, drawn to the precision of geometry and the rhythm of pattern; the other, inspired by nature’s fluid forms and textures.


Rachel applied an abstract painting on the linen with garment ink (meant to resemble calcium encrustation on lava rock found here on Hawai’i Island). Then, handed it off to Dani with complete trust. They agreed on the final pattern that Dani brilliantly designed, and she then hand-quilted the entire piece!"

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Star Light, "Star Bright"

"Star Bright" by Tiffany Hayes


Star Bright was created using shimmering fabric from a line from Maywood Studio. The metallic shimmer design present on the fabric wasn't stiff, it was actually quite fluid, and didn't affect Tiffany when she was making the quilt. It was quilted using digitized quilting designs by Tiffany's husband, Scott Hayes.
