Welcome to the May 2026 All Star Sampler Platter!

This page is only for those quilters who have signed up individually or had their Guild sign up on their behalf. It is prohibited to share this page with anyone who has not signed up for the event. Doing so harms the ability of Global Quilt Connection to provide these world class events in the future.
Thank you in advance for helping us with this.
