a special QuiltCon exhibit!

Today in Austin, Texas doors open at QuiltCon, a bi-annual quilt show and conference hosted by the Modern Quilt Guild.  I attended the first event, two years ago, and had a few quilts exhibited in the show.  This year I'm staying cozy at home, nesting.  But if I was there, I would be very, very eager to see a special exhibit entitled "Pieced with Love: The Quilts of Do.Good.Stitches!"

Yes, alongside amazing special exhibits like the Quilts of Gees Bend is an exhibit of charity quilts made by the members of do. Good Stitches!  I could not be more honored or more proud.  Last year, members of the bee selected twelve quilts to represent our work.  Here are our quilts hanging today at QuiltCon:

From the QuiltCon website:
Currently fueled by social media and emerging technology, the legacy of compassion, generosity and good will lives on through the time-honored tradition of making quilts for those in need.  Rachel Hauser, of Stitched In Color, is the founding force behind Do.Good.Stitches {a Charity bee}. She and hundreds of generous souls participating in this online community give back by doing something they love; using fabric, design concepts and piecing styles consistent with the modern quilting aesthetic. This exhibit showcases a small selection of the nearly two hundred quilts Do.Good.Stitches donates annually to organizations both near and far.
Yay, go team!  May the exhibit be a celebration of charitable quilting for ALL who love to quilt for good!
