The Quilt Show is sad to report the passing of Quilters Hall of Fame member Ruth B. McDowell. Ruth passed on June 23rd, 2024 following a brief illness. Ruth was "a pioneer and visionary in the contemporary art quilt movement and lifelong appreciator of the natural world." Her loss is deeply felt throughout the quilting community and The Quilt Show sends its condolences to the McDowell family.
Congratulations are in order for Quilt Show Legend and three-time guest Katie Pasquini Masopust, who will be inducted into The Quilters Hall of Fame next year. Katie has done it all and she's got so much more to show us too. Congrats Katie on this most prestigious honor.
The Quilters Hall of Fame Celebration this year celebrates its 30th Anniversary with its newest set of inductees, Diane Gaudynski and Heritage Honoree Florence LaGanke Harris. These two ladies, one a master of machine quilting and the other a pioneer of quilt journalism in the 1920s, will both be inducted next week. Congratulations Diane and Florence!
