# Quiltcon 2025 – Phoenix

## I had no clue.  Really.

I’ve been to the quilt show at the convention center in Phoenix a couple of times.  It’s ok but I skipped it this year because it’s just ok and the transit time to get there and back from my house means that I decided to be lazy and not go.  Bad me.

Then I saw something online about [Quiltcon](https://www.themodernquiltguild.com/quiltcon/quiltcon-home) in Phoenix at the Convention Center.  Much easier to get there, but when there was no parking in the main garage, I should have realized something was up.

Absolutely stunning display of quilts – and the vendors are definitely a leveled up game from most of the stuff I’ve been to around here.  Which is kind of weird since there are a lot of retirees here and quilting (used to be, at least) is known as an old lady pursuit.  Not any more.  Go fiber art!

I actually joined the local [PHXMQG guild](https://phxmqg.com) as well after this adventure.

Quick note – this is a BIG gallery so it maybe takes a bit to load.  Be patient.

My favorite vendor this time –

[Crimson Tate](https://www.crimsontate.com) – these fabrics pack a punch and a half, so many off beat, unusual, really awesome looking choices.

Runner up –

[Lo and Behold Stitchery](https://www.loandbeholdstitchery.com) – great fabrics, TONS of interesting pattern designs
