Upcoming Events
We have so many exciting events coming up; make sure you read all the way to the end so you don't miss anything!Quilt Along Project
This month we'll be starting a quilt along where we'll all be making the same pattern, but in different colorways! This is a great opportunity to work out some of your original design muscles without having to design an entire quilt. We will be using one of the MQG's Quilt of the Month free patterns, and members will vote to determine the pattern we use. The timeline for submission of/voting on patterns is as follows:- If you have a particular Quilt of the Month pattern you like, please submit it to the guild by this Friday, February 5.
- We will post the options on the blog, Instagram, and Facebook February 8.
- Vote for your favorite pattern from February 8 - 14 (email the guild your vote or comment on the Instagram/Facebook post).
- The winning pattern will be announced on February 15.
