Quiltcon 2023 Community Outreach Quilt Challenge
The guild's entry for the next Quiltcon Community Outreach Challenge is complete! Watch the blog for an exclusive post, but we agreed on a name for the quilt at this meeting: Radiata. The inspiration for the quilt design was a Radiated Tortoise (species name Astrochelys radiata) at the Knoxville Zoo.
Mug Rug Swap
We'll swap mug rugs at the next meeting/holiday party. Members should bring a completed mug rug to participate.

Members are asked to make a 20-x-20-inch mini quilt using the purple solid provided by the guild and featuring at least one MQG-specified characteristic modern quilting. Minis are due February 18 and will hang in the quilt show.
