Finished Quilts

Lift Off!

Yesterday was World Wide Quilting Day and, fittingly, it was also the inaugural meeting of the East Midlands Modern Quilt Guild. A quite lovely gaggle (flange? patchwork?) of ladies met in a pub in Nottingham and worked out the beginnings of a plan, which includes swaps (fabric and makes), show and tells, workshops and charity projects...oh and maybe a wee retreat of our own.  We're hoping also to arrange some swaps with other Guilds so if you are in a Guild and are interested, let me know.

In the meantime, you can find us on Flickr here.  Our next get together is a Weekender Bag workshop :)

  3. I think for non-workshop meetings we should definitely meet up in a food/drink environment again :)

  4. I have been snorting over 'flange' for the last 5 minutes! When I finally move back up to the Midlands I am joining for sure xx

  5. Please don't call us a flange, I think it might have a different meaning for some of us!

  6. The collective noun should surely be a "charm of quilters"
