Did you have the best time with our LMQG Mini Swap?? Well - you will have the chance to keep that fun going with the MQG Mini Swap. Sign ups open September 23. As they say "Make a mini - make a friend!".

From the email that should be in member inboxes: We’re excited to host the 9th Annual MQG Mini Swap! Swap sign ups will open Monday, September 23 - the best place to find the sign up link will be in the Modern Monday email on the 23rd. Be sure to check out the Participant Rules as we have a number of updates this year to help make it the best swap yet. In the meantime, Swap Fairy sign ups are now open. Swap Fairies are the amazing volunteers that help make the swap happen by managing communications and check-ins with a group of around 20 swappers. Communication templates and reminders, as well as assistance troubleshooting any issues are all provided by MQG Staff. Swap Fairy applications are open now through September 20, 2024.

New Negative Space Free Pattern

Don't forget about your MQG member benefits! This month there is a new quilt pattern in the Resource Library: Empty Rings.




In the third installment of our Negative Space educational programming, we’re sharing a new quilt pattern. Empty Rings, designed by Augusto GarcĂ­a, makes the negative space a focal point of this design. The pattern features Foundation Paper Piecing and Double Drunkard’s Path techniques to create the rings and the seamlessly integrated negative space.

The first article on Negative Space this quarter was On Demand Education: Negative Space with Augusto Garcia.
The first negative space pattern he developed was the Hollow X.
