Featuring Hillary Goodwin

Hillary Goodwin will be the QuiltCon 2026 featured artist. Hillary will give the Featured Lecture on Saturday at the show. 

Hillary is a textile artist and quilter based in Northern California with roots in North Carolina and Washington State. Her work explores modern themes while paying homage to the rich traditions of quilting, dyeing, hand stitching, and leatherwork. Botanically dyed fabric, repurposed t-shirts, grain sacks, as well as modern textiles all show up in her often hand-quilted pieces.

Hillary received a Bachelor of Science and a Doctorate from the University of Washington. Her work has won prestigious awards and been exhibited internationally, and has been featured in multiple books and magazines. One of her community quilts was acquired in 2021 by the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit and is part of their permanent collection.

At QuiltCon 2026, attendees will be able to view a sampling of Hillary’s quilts, and have the ability to learn more through the Special Exhibit Tours (registration required).
