February 2019 MQG Updates

As a new feature for the guild, we'll be posting monthly about events the Modern Quilt Guild is hosting and provide you with the details you'll need if you'd like to participate. Below are the February updates.

Modern Quilt Masters 2019: Jacquie Gering

The MQG will be hosting a retreat in the Fall of 2019 where none other than the fabulous Jacquie Gering will be leading workshops on design and walking foot quilting. The retreat will take place in Kansas City, Missouri and will last 3.5 days. 

Registration will open in March 2019. For more information, go to the Modern Quilt Masters website.

Quilt Pattern of the Month

In January, the quilt pattern of the month was titled X-Canvas, measures 60" square and was designed by Steph Skardal. This design is very simple, and yet striking with only a few solid fabrics.
