MARITIME MODERN QUILT GUILD @ NOVA
SCOTIA FIBRE ARTS FESTIVAL
Are you interested in finding out what is
happening with Modern Quilting in our part of the world? The Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival is the place to be, to find out lots of information and to see, up
close and personal, what our very own Maritime modern quilters are
creating.
The
Maritime Modern Quilt Guild will be presenting their very first quilt show
at Amherst Town Hall, on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th.
The Maritime Modern Quilt Guild was started
in November of 2013 by Adrienne
Klenck of Chezzetcook Modern Quilts.
A dream come true for her…to gather like-minded modern quilters together
in our region…a place to share, inspire and just have some plain old fun with
our common passion. She sent out the call via Blogland and 6 excited quilters
showed up; the MMQG was born.
To
date, 30+ quilters have joined in and become members. Although the MMQG is physically located in the
Halifax/Dartmouth area, quilters who live too far to join in, can be linked up
via video conferencing for meetings. For
example, modern quilters have travelled from Annapolis Royal, Yarmouth and PEI
to join in from time to time, bringing along some amazing modern quilts to show
and share. We are a talented lot here in
the Maritimes!
Monthly meeting are held as well as the
very popular monthly Sew-In Days. Check
out the MMQG blog for dates and times.
Here are a few examples of what you will
see when you visit the MMQG exhibit at Fibre Fest.
