Once a month, we will try to showcase a quilt from one of our MPS members.  Whether we’ve been quilting for decades or are just beginning our quilting journey, we are a talented bunch; and we inspire each other regularly with the many wonderful quilts that are created.  So it seems fitting that we showcase a quilt in hopes it will inspire others.  (You can click on any of the images to see a larger view.) Steampunk Fairytale March 8, 2025 was a day to remember for the Metropolitan Patchwork Society. That’s when we held our bi-annual quilt show, and wow—what a lineup of talent!Read More →

Netflix is dropping a short documentary on Friday, May 16, 2025 called “The Quilters”.  The story is about men who are housed in a maximum-security prison in Missouri who design and make quilts.  These quilts are then given to foster children in the area.  The documentary was released in June of 2024, and has won several awards. This looks to be a worthwhile (and maybe even a little heartbreaking) film to watch.  Set aside some time-about thirty minutes-to sit and be inspired by these quilters who love their craft and design their quilts to be given away to someone who needs them.  If you don’tRead More →
