KONA Color of the Year Inspirations

At the Atlanta Sewing and Quilting Expo, there was a fun exhibition of quilts inspired by the KONA color of the year from 2024…. JULEP!!

This challenge was done in the Bloomington Normal Modern Quilt Guild

I loved this color and equally enjoyed the quilts that it inspired…..

In this quilt, I love the different styles of quilting that she used….from Big Sttich hand quilting to tiny machine quilted lines!

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.
