KCRQF Quilt Challenge - Women & Girls In Soccer
In celebration of the creativity of quilters and the advancement of Women in Sports, the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival is excited to introduce a Quilt Challenge - "Women & Girls in Soccer".
The Kansas City Current made history as it kicked off its 2024 National Women's Soccer League season. The Current plays their home games in the first & only stadium dedicated to women's sports worldwide. They are at the forefront of a shift towards recognizing and celebrating female atheletes' achievements. Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and the Kansas City Current celebrated this monumental achievment together, highlighting the power of collaboration and support in pushing the boundaries of women's sports.
KCQRF and Paintbrush Studio Fabrics support & celebrate this achievement in offering a fun and creative opportunity for an individual quilter to kick up their skills and style to reach for the goal of crafting a work of he"art" to earn a trophy of quilting.
