November 2024

KMQG member quilts on display

From November 1 to December 8 KMQG had quilts on display (along with quilts from Smoky Mountain Quilters) at the Clayton Arts Center at Maryville College.

Here are some pictures from the opening evening showing just some of the quilts on show.

Throughout December KMQG members have mini quilts on display at The Printshop Beer Co.  Members were given a limited color palette and challenged to design a mini quilt and our creative members came up with an amazing variety of designs.

Knoxville Modern Quilt Guild met on Saturday August 17.

Our latest guild quilt for The Restoration House project is quilted and just waiting to be bound.  Members worked on individual blocks that were assembled to make this lovely quilt.

After the meeting, some members gathered for a sew-in to work together on a quilt for the Outreach Challenge for QuiltCon 2025.  We had members sewing, cutting, pressing ...  Watch this space for pictures of the finished quilt soon.

But before the sew-in we had our usual show & tell.

Paulina's flower blocks - we look forward to seeing more of these

We had been given a heads up to have a spring cleaning de-stash and bring our unwanted fabric and supplies along to the meeting.  At the end of the meeting everything went into a big swap and members were able to take some new finds home with them.  Unclaimed supplies will be donated where they can be put to good use.

Note: our April 2024 meeting will be a week earlier than usual: Saturday April 13th.
