No parts of QuiltCon 2023 will be hybrid. If you wish to participate in a virtual event from the comfort of your home, you should check out MQG Sessions, our all-virtual event!

Do you need a motorized scooter or other mobility device while you are at QuiltCon? The MQG has partnered with Mobility Georgia to provide these helpful items to our attendees.

To see what they have available, you can view their website right here: Rentals (mobilitygeorgia.com)

To reserve your mobility device in advance, contact Mobility Georgia directly at 470.357.6130 or via email at support@mobilitygeorgia.com

Reasonable ADA accommodations are available upon request through the registration system for registered attendees. Simply mark the checkbox on the registration system and we will follow up with you to understand your needs.

 This year, everything you would normally find in the QuiltCon catalog is all here on the website! You’ll find the faculty, our featured lecturer, full event schedule, pricing, about Atlanta, hotel booking information, safety guidelines, ADA guidelines, code of conduct, community guidelines, refund policy, event terms and conditions, vendor application, QuiltCon quilt show challenges, quilt show entry information, and registration information (coming in August!) all right here on the QuiltCon webpage. You can always use the Contact Us form for more information or help finding what you’re looking for.

All MQG members who register and pay for their registration before August 23, 2022 will be entered to win a QuiltCon goody bag. The bags will be distributed onsite and goody bag winners will not be notified in advance. Registrants will find out when they check in at registration if they have won a bag. Goody bags are not eligible for shipping after the event if not picked up onsite.

The goody bag and the QuiltCon Commemorative Merch Pack are NOT the same item – the goody bag is a bag with items from our sponsors that a limited number of attendees will receive via random lottery, whereas the Merch Pack is an item a registrant pays for that will include the event t-shirt, event backpack, and event pin.

Check out our Vendor Application form to apply. All guidelines and details will be found on this page.

We are so excited to have a variety of exhibits for QuiltCon 2023. Check out all the details right here!

Simply put, the contractual obligations of an event the size of QuiltCon would bankrupt the MQG if we attempted to cancel or move the event, and would end the MQG and QuiltCon as we know them. 

Additionally, travel boycotts hurt innocent bystanders, most especially local residents, small businesses, and travel industry employees who depend on the meetings and events industry to make a living. There are more strategic ways to influence political policies that are less harmful to innocent bystanders that are just as, if not more, effective, such as donating to advocacy groups or using the gathering of like-minded people at an event to meet with other attendees and organize outreach activities. Events like QuiltCon bring people together, and attendees can leverage such a gathering to meet up and make plans for change.

We encourage MQG members to find ways to express their thoughts on this topic in quilts they submit for the show, as that can lead to a larger conversation and often press coverage as well to extend the conversation beyond our circle of members and makers.

Our Safety Protocols will continue to be updated regularly as we get closer to QuiltCon. You can find the most up-to-date information on our Safety page.
