What is QuiltCon? An event that transcends mere exhibitions and workshops; it's a celebration, an immersion, and a communion of creativity and community. Welcome to QuiltCon, where fabric becomes a medium of expression, and stitches weave narratives of passion and artistry. #quiltcon
While at #QuiltCon, I was able to take a Saeksilnubi class with artisan master Youngmin Lee. Saeksilnubi is a traditional Korean quilting technique that uses tightly spun cords of mulberry paper as batting. Her work is represented below. I managed a few less than perfect lines in class.
Back from #QuiltCon, the annual event for #ModernQuiltMakers, this year in Atlanta. My best friend won first prize in the fabric challenge! Here she is standing next to her quilt.
