Hello ABQ MQG members! We are sew excited to start working on our Community Quilt project for submission to Quilt Con 2026 in Raleigh. We decided on a design by our own member, Nic, which features techniques we have covered during this year’s theme of Quilting Around The World, coupled with iconic Southwest patterns, to create something that truly represents us as a guild.
As a reminder we have our official Cut Party next Tuesday June 17 from 6-8 pm at the Quilt Works. All members are welcome to join in the fun as we make our initial fabric cuts and turn those into kits for further steps. Please bring your rotary cutter and acrylic ruler—the shop has plenty of cutting mats so you do not need to bring those.
Please register so we will know how many folks are coming.
We can’t wait to come together as a guild and work on a project that helps benefit the community while showing off our ABQ pride at Quilt Con!
