National Modern Quilt Guild Challenge

We are forming a group of quilters to work on The Modern Quilt Guild (National) Charity Quilt Challenge entitled:

Modern Traditionalism

Quilter’s are required to be individual members of MGQ (National) and also

existing or new members of Long Island Modern Quilt Guild (LIMQG).

As this is a charity quilt we are also looking for suggestions for charity

organization right in our backyard to help make a difference. Please email Mario any charities for consideration -nycmulea@me.com

Time is of the essence as we have to submit participants names to The

MQG by September 20th, which is before our monthly meeting at the end

of September.

Those that have already responded to the first call are on the list participants.
