Quilt Showcase: Spontaneous Collaboration

2025-11-19

In: Articles

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.) Unwind You know how it goes: you pack for a quilt retreat with every intention of being focused and productive… and then creativity (or a friend) whispers, “What if…?”Read More →

HST

Half-Square Triangles Made Easy

Let’s be honest—half-square triangles (HSTs) can stir up some strong feelings. Love them or dread them, they’re a huge part of quilt design. But for many of us, those early attempts at making HSTs one at a time were… let’s just say, a little less than perfect. (Wonky points, anyone?) Enter Cydney, an MPS member who’s on a mission to make HSTs friendlier and faster! She will be sharing her tips soon with a group of quilters on how to stitch multiple HSTs at once—and she’s kindly offered her worksheet and sketches so we can all give it a try, too. Her guide shows youRead More →

Let’s Finish That Quilt!

Submitted by Dianne McD. A friend once said to me, “I have the top done and I need to finish the quilt; but I’m done with it in my heart.”  Do you ever feel that way?  Boy, I sure do!  In fact, as we speak, there is a finished quilt top in my studio that I have worked very hard on.  I love how it turned out and I am anxious to see it as a finished project.  But I can’t seem to make myself put a backing together so I can get it quilted and bound.   (Cue the violins…) However, maybe there’s hope forRead More →

Let’s Look Back One More Time

Before we get too far into 2025, let’s take one more look back at 2024 with our final 25th Anniversary celebration.  On November 26th, at our General Meeting, our members revealed the final results of our 2024 Quilt Challenge.  In keeping with our anniversary focus for the year, Ruth T challenged us to make something using 25 of anything–be it 25 fabrics, 25 threads, 25 seams–you get the picture. All of our members were given a fat quarter of silver fabric to use in our challenge projects or any other way we wanted. Over a third of our membership embraced the challenge, and we revealed 42Read More →
