Interested in learning how to use heavy-duty heat-activated interfacing to add rigid body, structure and support to quilted textiles?  Your imagination is the limit to what you can create: tea pots, bowls, vessels, costumes, postcards and so much more.  Join Sheila as she discusses the different types of stabilizers and shows how to use each of them.  
See you Tuesday, October 27, 5:30pm at the international Quilt Museum.

We will also have a small hands on project for you to try presented by Lora. Please bring a small scissors that can cut fabric and a thimble if you are used to using one.  

Don't forget we need your Go Geometric finished pieces. Label on the back with your name...email the guild your dimensions and artist statement. 

We will be voting on our slate of officers. 

MQG is hosting its 4th Annual International Scrap Sorting day on Nov. 7, 2026 What might you do for scrap sorting day?

We will have sign up for the Holiday Patchwork Tea Party on Dec 12. We would like to know how many will attend to plan for. 

We hope to see you there...it is the last meeting of the year!

Highlights from Oct 10, 26 Sew Day

 

A handmade gift is something crafted manually with your own hands. Our sew day was all about what we handmake. Kate shared her Japanese style tie bag.

Anyone who came to sew day could make a simple wallet. These make great gifts as themselves or for a gift card. They are easy and fun...and don't require a zipper!

We were able to tweak the pattern to make the wallet into a name tag on the other side. Brilliant Melissa

So many wallets..... 3 kinds of free patterns are available on our resources page. 

Jen worked on a patchwork pooch

Kris worked on some scrappy bowl cozies.

That ends another year of LMQG Sew days. 

Stay tuned for next year. 

Until then make sure you sign up at our October meeting for our Patchwork  Holiday Tea Party

October 27th end of the year meeting featuring:

October 10, 2026 Sew Day Gift idea sharing

 Sew Day Sew Day...the last one of the year is almost here!

Come out on Saturday Oct 10th.

Share all your gift giving ideas with the other members. Everyone has always comes up with great ideas so come and show us what you are making. 

If you come out to the sew day you can make one of the Easy soft wallets!

We have small lobster claw clasps and white snaps so you can go home with a finished wallet. Bring your machines and the fabric requirements below. 

They are great when you don't want to carry a purse. They work for a key chain or wristlet. They also work for nametags on a lanyard around your neck. What about those holiday gift cards? use the wallet for a cute reusable stocking stuffer. 

Here are 3 examples I shared at last meeting:

Look Here: Resource page info

Don't forget if you have a finished Go Geometric Challenge piece we will take it if you bring it Saturday.

Also we will have a sign up for the Holiday Party coming up Dec. 12. 

It's that time of year...it is going to go fast so let us get some gifts made!

See you there.
