First meeting 2017!

Our first 2017 meeting is coming right up on Thursday, January 19th at Woodside Quilting. We are going to get started with the actual meeting at 6:45. 


  • Connie will share the overall direction our Des Moines Modern Quilt Group, as a group within the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild, is going to take this year. 
  • Connie also plans a short overview of Modern quilting. 
  • Marny will present the preliminary 2017 calendar that the steering committee has devised. Lots of room for helpful suggestions and additions remains! 
  • Jill McBroom will explain the ever popular Finish It Up challenge. Deadline is July.
  • A new, to our group, Paint Chip Challenge will start too. If you can't be at the meeting and you want to participate (deadline is April at this point), designate someone to draw your random paint chips for you please!


Garage Sale coming in February!! One quilter's stash is another quilter's treasure...or something like that. This too will be explained.

The quilting year is off to a great start!!
