Alex Veronelli and Stefano Pucci traveled to New Hampshire this year to see first-hand Machine Quilters Exposition (a.k.a. MQX)

1Easter week in Manchester, NH saw the latest installment of the Machine Quilters Exposition (a.k.a. MQX) at the Center of New Hampshire/Radisson Hotel. MQX’s first show took place in 2003 in the more remote conference center in Laconia, NH, but has since grown year by year in both size and reputation to become the premier exhibition for machine quilters in the United States. Show founders, Janet-Lee Santeusanio and Mary Schilke made their vision into reality to the delight of exhibitors and visitors alike. MQX is a full-featured show and contest, offering quilters opportunities to exhibit their quilts in a dozen categories, or to take any of over 200 classes and lectures from any of 56 teachers. In addition, every year, the show features special exhibits of related quilts and a charity challenge. This year, those included a 40 piece exhibit called Real Men Can Quilt, and another from a 33 member group from the Maine Machine Quilters and a collection by quilter Ronda Kae Beyer.
