National Quilting Day 2024 Recap

 Thought I would share a few pictures of the day. 

Quilts of Valor quilts were hung in the entrance and along the stairway of the IQM.





Second floor showcased QOV, Habitat for Humanity, a make and take project, and our vendor sponsors.



Kids and families could interact with a cute make and take house in the Habitat for Humanity space.




More second floor images of our sponsors.




The third floor showcased handwork. Joe Cunningham listened intently and asked quesions about this work in progress.



Kids and adults were encouraged to make a basic four patch block.



The Dillow Conservation Workroom was open to the public to observe collection care in action. 


Our own LMQG Bee Sew Quilty group presented their works and thoughts about the Modern Quilting Bee.










Still looking for a few pictures of the other two lectures:
Making Scrap Quilts POP!, Bonnie Kucera
Feed Sacks, an American Fairytale exhibition, Sarah Walcott and Jamie Swartz.
More pictures can be found on our Community page on Facebook

Modern Quilt Guild Sew Along

From MQG: We’re excited to announce the 2024 MQG Sew Along! This year, we’re sewing the Satsuma quilt, the latest pattern in the Member Resource Library. The pattern, designed by Holly Clarke @holdmyseamripper, updates the traditional Irish Chain quilt layout by substituting curved Orange Peel blocks in place of the squares. The Sew Along officially kicks off on April 18, 2024. All members are welcome to participate - details about the sew along are available on our website.
