Welcome to the MPS Quilt Guild!
Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for quilters to gather for inspiration, education, and fellowship.
The society supports and encourages individual growth in skill and craftsmanship. We celebrate quilting as a great American art form.
The June General Meeting is Tuesday the 25th at the Bethel Congregational Church. (See link on the right for directions.) This month our guest will be Marjorie Post. She will present a program entitled "Quilting Outside the Lines: Abstract Landscape Quilting."
The June 29th Sewing Day will be here soon. There is still room for a few more to sign up!
What To Bring: Bring your inspirations to share with everyone and money for the Vicky Fund drawings. The drawing will be held at this meeting for the current quarterly winnings, you can bring your block to the meeting to have it included.
