Nine years ago, I attended my first QuiltCon, in Savannah. At that point, I had been blogging for almost three years, and I took the opportunity to meet up with other bloggers for meals, conversation, and late-night ice cream.
I can’t express how much fun I had spending time with those women in real life. After a few days of classes and walking the quilt show, I returned back to Massachusetts reinvigorated by our real-life adventures together.
I am planning on being at QuiltCon and other events in the first half of 2026. If you are going to Raleigh later this month or live in New England, I would love to meet you. Here are some places we could see each other ...
QuiltCon
I attend every QuiltCon I can swing logistically, and QuiltCon Raleigh 2026 is no exception. If you’ll be there, let me know. I'd love to be on the lookout for you and put a real, live face to a name.
I’ll also be signing copies of Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts in three vendor booths: Camberville Threads, French Fry Quilt Co., and Twin Essential Shop. I'll be sure to post the schedule here and on Instagram once it's finalized. If you’re roaming the vendor hall at QuiltCon at those times, be sure to stop by for a quick hug!

New England Quilt Expo
Since the end of MQX in Manchester, NH, a new show—the New England Quilt Expo—has sprouted up. I will be teaching Five-Star Experience from my book, Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts, on Friday, April 10, at this year’s event.
If you’ll be attending the show and want to talk jelly rolls, this class is for you. The workshop will be a fun, no-stress, three-hour event. More details and registration can be found here.

Springtime Events
I have more fun planned for this spring. Amy Friend and I will be teaming up for an afternoon in her studio in West Newbury, MA. I also have some trunk shows on the books. I will be sure to share all the details once they are finalized!
