Generation Stitch

KCRQF was proud to introduce Generation Stitch at the 2025 Festival—a vibrant youth experience that brought young makers together to celebrate the art of quilting! Open to participants in two age categories, Youth (under 13) and Middle/High School (13–18), this program encouraged creativity, confidence, and community through fabric and thread.

As we look ahead to KCRQF 2027, we’re continuing our commitment to building the legacy of quilting for the next generation. Expect even more opportunities for young stitchers, including quilting contests, make-n-take projects, community block stitching, and hands-on learning with innovative tools—all designed to inspire and showcase their incredible talent!
