Woman Told Off for Touching Her Own Quilt at Quilt Show

A woman documented an encounter at a quilt show in South Padre Island, Texas, on February 17, where she was reprimanded for touching her own quilt.

Emily Victoria Pena’s video captures her excitement as she displays her new owl quilt, reaching to touch it and proudly exclaiming, “This is my quilt!”

A voice interrupts and insists she wear gloves to touch it, saying, “Quilt convention rules. No touching without a glove.”

Despite explaining that she was the quilt’s designer, Pena complies, apologizing and captioning her now-viral TikTok, “Gotta follow quilt show rules…” Credit: Emily Victoria Pena via Storyful
