Are you a teacher?
The MQG welcomes and encourages a diverse community of instructors to apply to teach at QuiltCon!
We are always looking for experienced instructors with fresh material, teaching techniques of interest to modern quilters in one of two formats: workshops (three-hour or six-hour) and lectures (45 minutes in content, 15 minutes in Q+A).
Key Information for Prospective Teachers:
- All workshops are taught to groups of 24 students.
- Our lecture hall seats approximately 1200-1500 attendees.
- Instructors receive a travel stipend for their expenses. The amount of stipend will depend directly on the total number of hours an instructor is contracted to teach.
- Subjects we are specifically looking to cover, based on student feedback, include:
- Modern Traditionalism in Modern Quilt Design
- Domestic Machine Quilting
- Minimalism in Modern Quilt Design
- Improvisational Piecing/Design
- Unique & Challenging Piecing (think y-seams, foundation paper piecing, freezer paper piecing, and more!)
Applications are open each fall, with contracting taking place in the spring of the year before the show. For example, applications for QuiltCon 2027 are open now.
If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Dackson at elizabeth (at) themodernquiltguild.com.
