It’s time to get your plans together to attend the 2023 Fall KQO Meeting in Salina KS

Our 2023 Fall meeting September 29 & 30th, will be at the Salina, KS Courtyard by Marriott.

The main speaker is Kelly Ashton. As a self-described “pragmatic quilt-maker”, Kelly Ashton approaches quilt design and construction with a knowledge of and appreciation for the theoretical while searching for and developing skills and short-cuts that are practical. Kelly is passionate about patchwork! Kelly loves to design and make quilts, and her patchwork interests range from “microwave quilts” (quilts that are simple in design and quick to piece) to “crock-pot quilts” (quilts that are more intricate and complex in their construction), and she happily moves back and forth betwixt the two…..and everything in-between!
Kelly is the author of Hexagons, Diamonds, Triangles, and More: Skill-Building Techniques for 60-Degree Patchwork and Spinners, Spirals, & Stars: Hexagons WITH Movement and WITHOUT “Y-Seams”!. Her obsession with 60-degree patchwork continues, though she enjoys participating in and teaching a variety of quilt-making techniques.

Our second workshop will be presented by Debbie Coddington. She currently serves on the KQO board as the treasurer. She is going to share her talents doing Sue Spargo Wool applique with lots of elaborate embroidery. We are going to make a wool needle book while learning some basic wool applique techniques and embroidery stitches.

There will also be the ever popular UFO room.

Don’t miss all the fun. Looking forward to see you there!!!

KQO was established in October of 1984 to further the art of quilting within the state and to bring quilters together to share their knowledge. Our membership includes hundreds of quilters from around the state of Kansas and a number of members from other surrounding states. We meet twice a year for two days, attending workshops, lectures, trunk shows, and other assorted activities. Every other year we offer a fellowship as well. Our instructors and lecturers can include local talent from surrounding areas, guests brought in from around the Midwest based on recommendations and requests and of course our own immensely talented KQO members.
