Happenings

MQG

Quiltcon 2018– Let’s discuss. We pretty much agree that there should be more transparency in judging and it is also quite subjective. But don’t forget you do have to be juried, but not judged, to get in.

still looking for taskforce volunteers, especially Inclusion and Diversity
and as always, look for articles, webinars and other good stuff
