Meeting this Thursday and a Michael Miller fabric challenge!

Hi Guilders,

Get ready, get set… it’s guild meeting week! Our February meeting will be this Thursday, February 20 at 7PM at Rock Paper Scissors.

We have a LOT of things to talk about, some of which I’ll update the blog about as we get closer to meeting time.

But most excitingly…. the MQG is sponsoring a Michael Miller fabric challenge! We will sign up as a guild and distribute fabric accordingly. If you’re interested in participating, please leave a comment on this post (especially if you can’t make it to the meeting). I will also announce it at the meeting and pass a sign up sheet. There will be three national winners who will each receive a goody box from Michael Miller every month for a year.

As for our own guild quilt block challenge, blocks aren’t due until the March meeting, but if you have them, we’d love to see them! Also bring a name tag and a chair with something for show and tell. It feels like forever since our last meeting. I can’t wait to see everyone!

Upcoming Events

Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re spending lots of time quilting during this very inhospitable winter. Here are some events to look forward to. And please add your own in the comments if I’ve missed anything. I’d like to start a monthly events calendar, but for now this will do.
