September and October Progress & News

Quilt Match 2016 - Meet The Contenders

Announcing Quilt Match 2016 hosted by the Quilt Alliance at this year's annual Quilters Take Manhattan main event on Saturday, 24 September, at FIT, Manhattan.

Each year at QTM, Quilt Match brings together 3 contenders for the Featherweight Champ of the Quilt World title. Previous contenders include Luke Haynes, Heather Jones, Denyse Schmidt, Karla Overland, Laurie Russman and last year's winner Edyta Sitar. Quilt Match contenders have one hour to design and layout a quilt top - 'no patterns, no plans, no regrets'.

I expect you're wondering who this year's Quilt Match contenders will be; well, one of them is none other than me. I've been chosen to represent the NYC Metro MOD Quilt Guild, and I can now share details of who my fellow contenders will be.
