January 2026
The meeting was held at Lull Co on January 28th
- Annual meeting: This was our annual meeting where we went over our finances and plans for 2026!
- Outreach:
- Carolyn is now taking all your charity requests for batting and backing and you can hand off quilts to her at the meeting.
- Carol will be coordinating our booth at the Ann Arbor Library Fiber Arts Expo. Please plan on attending, Feb 8th from 1-4pm. The event is at the main library downtown - we will be downstairs and there will be hexies to sew, or you can bring your own hand projects. The goal is to talk to folks about what excites you about quilting, what our modern quilt guild is all about and we will have sewing machines to demo and show folks how to use.
