Welcome to MQG QuiltCon 2026

Join us February 19-22, 2026, as we celebrate QuiltCon Raleigh 2026 at the Raleigh Convention Center!

QuiltCon is the largest modern quilting event in the world, hosted by the Modern Quilt Guild. With attendees coming from around the globe, QuiltCon features a vibrant quilt show full of competition quilts, community outreach quilts, and special exhibits as well as an enticing vendor hall, with all booths curated with the modern quilter in mind. QuiltCon also features lectures and workshops, available for registration with a four-day show pass.

SPECIAL EXHIBIT:  Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy & Gee's Bend Quilters

The MQG is proud to host the Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy for a special exhibit and educational experience at QuiltCon 2026!

Based in Gee’s Bend, Alabama—home of the world-renowned Gee’s Bend quilters—the Legacy carries forward a powerful history of art, social activism, and economic empowerment rooted in the civil rights movement. Attendees will experience a special exhibition of Legacy Quilts, participate in live quilting demonstrations, and have the rare opportunity to meet the quilters and purchase handmade works from this influential group of women who have an outsized impact on art, culture, and fashion.
