Welcome to the MPS Quilt Guild!
Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for quilters to gather for inspiration, education, and fellowship.
The society supports and encourages individual growth in skill and craftsmanship. We celebrate quilting as a great American art form.
Our May General Meeting is Tuesday the 22nd at 6:30 pm at the Bethel Congregational Church. Contemporary fabric artist Barbara Shapel will share "First quilt, last quilt and a few in between." Visit her website: barbarashapel.com
What to bring: You may want to bring your check book for the Vicky Fund drawing and Quilt Book Sale! Also remember your BELIEVE Creative Challenge quilts are due in May as well. We can hardly wait to see what members come up with this time!
Please note, the workshop with Barbara Shapel on May 23rd is full with a waiting list.
