Meeting Tonight!!!

Reminder! MMQG is meeting TONIGHT! Monday, May 9 at 6:30pm in Room B at the Sequoya Branch of the Madison Public Library. Directions can be found at this link. We'll be kicking off our "Ugly Fabric Challenge!" Bring approximately 1/4 yard of the ugliest/strangest/"what was I thinking?" fabric in your stash. We'll put them all in a bag, everyone will pick a piece and create something with it for the next month's meeting! You don't have to use every inch of the "ugly" fabric, but it must be a focal fabric in your finished product. Finished items should be roughly 24" square or smaller- a doll quilt, pillow cover, table runner, etc. You'll have until the June meeting to finish your item!

Welcome to the Madison Modern Quilt Guild!

Hello!  I'm Leigh of Sleepytime Sewing and I've been watching with jealousy as cities all around the world get their very own branch of the Modern Quilt Guild.  Madison is an awesome town with so many amazingly talented people, I know that we've got the makings of an incredible group!

We're in the very very beginning stages of getting this thing off the ground, so please post here or email me if you're interested in helping out or would just like to be kept up to date on any developments.  An easy way to stay in touch would be to follow this blog in your reader.  Any meetings or events will be posted here!

I'd love to hear from you!  Let me know what YOU want from "MadMod"!
