Our third quarter challenge is all about Zero Waste Quilting! What is Zero Waste Quilting? It is the concept of using your quilting waste and byproducts rather than throwing them in the trash. Examples of Zero Waste Materials include: project leftovers (batting scraps, binding triangles, “snippets”) trash (thread clippings, fabric bits that can’t be sewn, stained/damaged fabric) packaging materials (cardboard backings, plastic bags, ribbons) reclaimed materials (clothing, linens, mattress pads) Using these materials can be accomplished in so many ways! Your challenge from now until the September meeting is to use something that you personally used to put in the…

If you didn’t spring forward and missed our March meeting, here’s what you missed! QuiltCon Together We took a few moments to discuss what we liked about this year’s virtual QuiltCon Together and the variety of opportunities that the virtual format offered. We appreciated the hard work that the Modern Quilt Guild mothership put into pivoting from an in-person event to a virtual one. It took a lot of work behind the scenes and we are so thankful we still had an amazing event this year despite the pandemic. Also, if you didn’t already see it, be sure to check…

We held our first meeting of 2021 on Sunday, January 10th via Zoom. We were so excited to see so many new and returning faces! While we are sad we cannot yet meet in person, we are so glad that the technology exists to allow us to still “meet” and be inspired by each other while we remain distanced. Starting off, we wanted to be sure that everyone could put a face to the new 2021 board! President – Priscilla Dulin: Our faithful leader! She is in charge of running our monthly meetings as well as guiding the direction of…
