We Have A Home!

Hi to our Fresno Modern Quilt Guild Members!

I'm hoping that all of you had wonderful holidays, and that you are looking forward to the New Year!

Good news!  Quilter's Paradise would love to have us enjoy our monthly meetings at the store!

I have scheduled the first meeting for Saturday, January 28 from 3:00 - 4:00!  I haven't confirmed it with QP yet because I want to know how many of you can make it?

I am putting together (with my husband's help!) a "Join The Fresno Modern Quilt Guild" poster, as well as some flyers that Quilter's Paradise are willing to display in the store!

Prior to doing this though, I'd like to get together with you say at Starbuck's or my home to talk about ideas and thoughts about our vision of the guild and guidelines for our first meeting!

I am not currently working, so my schedule is flexible to meet your needs!  So, please let me know if evenings during the week may work or what weekend day is better for you, etc.

And, away we go!

Join the Fresno Chapter of The Modern Quilt Guild


The Modern Quilt Guild was conceived in Los Angeles in 2009 by two women who wanted to quilt in a different way from traditional quilting. Today there are over 100 guilds worldwide.

I discovered the guild by browsing quilt blogs a few weeks ago, and landed on Handmade by Alissa, one of its founders.  What brought me back to quilting were all the cool, contemporary fabrics that are currently in the marketplace, so I was stoked to see Alissa's aesthetic!  Alissa's blog led me to many other modern quilt blogs - Oh, Fransson!, Modern Day Quilts, and Tallgrass Prairie Studio - to name a few!

I was so excited to see all the modern quilters out there in the blogosphere, I was inspired to start a guild in Fresno and would love for you to be a part of our new guild!

Please check us out at www.themodernquiltguild.com

Leave me a comment below and I will contact you with further information.  And, as always thanks for your interest!  I hope to meet you soon!
