Next Open Sewing Session

 Monday,  August 15th at the Gmeiner 10:00 - 2:00

All MLQG members of all ability levels and interests are welcome to attend the open sewing sessions at the Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center (where the monthly guild meetings are held) on Mondays 10:00 - 2:00 to work on any stitching projects, hand or machine, even knitting/crocheting/embroidery. The fourth Monday of the month is reserved for outreach sewing.

The purpose of these get-togethers is to spend time with other MLQG fiber fanatics and to learn from each other, no matter what we're all working on. Bring your projects, machine, and lunch. Stay for an hour or stay all day. Just be warned that if only a couple of people show up, we may pack up early and leave before noon. Cancellations will be posted on the guild's blog/website/Facebook page.

Art Quilts for ACS

Here is a sneak peek at a couple of the Art Quilts for ACS that have been turned in so far.  If you haven't made one yet, you still have time to stitch one together for a good cause!  Remember these quilts are small, only 9" x 12", so they don't take long to complete.  Find all of the details and the entry form under the 2016 Exhibit tab at the top of this page.

Entry forms AND finished quilts should be given to Susan McC. on or before August 15, 2016.
