Stone Soup Quilts!

A record number of ten finished Stone Soup quilts were turned in at this month's MLQG meeting! On top of that, six quilt tops went home with guild members to be quilted! Thanks to all of the "souper quilters" participating in this project!

September Guild Meeting -- Happy Birthday, MLQG!

This month's MLQG meeting will be a celebration of our 20th birthday. We've grown quite a bit since that first meeting in September 1998 (from 28 members to over 120 today)! For a history of the guild's beginnings, click here or on the "History" tab at the top of this blog.

The guild exhibit is still on display, so this will also be a perfect time to wander around all of the beautiful artwork created by the guild's members. A feast for the eyes, for sure!

The meeting starts at 7:00 PM and will be in the Gmeiner's studio, not in the main gallery.

Come for cake!
