Scooter Rental
Mobility scooters, also known as ECVs, are battery-powered, three or four-wheeled vehicles, designed for individuals who have difficulty walking for long periods. QuiltCon is partnering with a local Phoenix-area mobility company, Southwest Mobility Inc., to provide wheelchair and motorized scooter rentals at QuiltCon 2025.

ASL Interpretation
All lectures in the QuiltCon 2025 Lecture Hall will feature ASL Interpretation.
QuiltCon Affinity Spaces
QuiltCon is a LOT, especially for those who may feel more alone at a large quilt show. The MQG is offering an Affinity Space for groups to gather and decompress. This space will be reserved for members of affinity groups, such as Latinx quilters, Black quilters, LGBTQIA+ quilters, etc*. Any MQG member can request the space for the group they’d like to gather. The MQG IDEA Committee will review all submissions and if a proposal is accepted, it will appear on the QuiltCon Interactive Schedule so other attendees can find it!
*This space is not appropriate for guild or bee gatherings
NEW this year! QuiltCon Sensory Relief Space
The new QuiltCon Sensory Relief Space will ensure that respect and compassion is provided to people with invisible disabilities at QuiltCon. As many as 1 in 4 individuals has some kind of sensory need, including military vets with PTSD, patients with Parkinson’s disease, stroke patients, as well as autistic and other neurodivergent individuals. The QuiltCon Sensory Relief Space will be open at all hours to QuiltCon attendees and will be a quiet, dimly lit space with seating for decompressing from all the stimuli of QuiltCon. Sensory bags, filled with items that can help lessen sensory overload, will be available for those who wish to utilize them.
