MODERN QUILTING. MODERN FUN. MODERN FOLK.
ABOUT US
The MCMQG was founded in 2010 to serve the greater Nashville area. We are a group of like-minded sewists who enjoy sharing all parts of our craft! While we focus on modern quilting, we enjoy and appreciate all quilters and types of quilting and work to preserve and share this art. The guild is open to persons age 16 or older who are interested in modern quilting.
MEETINGS + EVENTS
We meet on the third Saturday of each month (with the exception of our holiday party in December!) from 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the Southeast Branch of the Nashville Public Library unless noted otherwise. We always start with a little business and then a lot of “show & tell”.
While our meetings are open to the public, members will enjoy added benefits of special members only events that may take the place of our monthly meetings, so please check the schedule or email us to confirm each meeting time & location – and follow us on Instagram for the latest updates!
If you have questions about an upcoming meeting, please contact us at musiccitymodernquilters@gmail.com.
