One word. So many heartfelt interpretations.
For our 2025 MPS Quilt Challenge, members were invited to create a quilt—or any kind of textile art—that expressed what the word “grateful” means to them. And, as usual, the MPS members rose to the occasion in the most inspiring way.
Yes, there were quilts (glorious quilts!), but that was just the beginning. We also enjoyed pillows, pennants, wall hangings, and even placemats—each piece offering a unique and personal take on gratitude. Some were quiet and reflective, others bold and joyful, but every single one told a story stitched with intention.
The big reveal happened at our general meeting on November 25, 2025. As pieces were shared, one feeling filled the room: gratitude. Gratitude for the creativity in our guild, for the willingness to share something meaningful, and for the community that supports and celebrates one another.
And then, just two days later, many of us gathered with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving—already in a grateful frame of mind, thanks to the beauty and thoughtfulness we’d witnessed.
As we end the year of 2025 and look toward the beginning of 2026, what are you grateful for?
