The Quilters Hall of Fame is excited to announce the selection of Katie Pasquini Masopust as our 2024 honoree. Since Katie first began quilting in 1978, her creativity and sense of design and composition have been a moving force in the contemporary field of quilt making. She became a leader in the Art Quilt Movement through her eagerness to teach art quilters and through her seven-year service as president of Studio Art Quilt Associates. The positive effect she has had on the quilt world internationally and her many awards testify to her having earned a place in The Quilters Hall of Fame.

Quilting fans and art enthusiasts alike will have the opportunity to view Masopust's vibrant works in person during Celebration 2024, July 18 - 20 at Marion Public Library in the Forrest Room (600 S Washington Street, Marion, IN). Hours will be 9am - 5 pm. Once daily, Katie will have a Gallery Walk, sharing with those present stories and insights about each piece.
