A quilt-along starting 5/18.

Join us on Facebook live on the Modern Quilt Studio page Monday May 18 7pm CDT for the first of our Summer Nights Mini Quiltalongs. We'll be making a 15" x 33" patriotic wall hanging/banner to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. This beginner friendly, scrap friendly project includes the option to make a piece with either vertical or horizontal orientation. We used fused appliqué for our version but the instructions also include templates for people who want to do hand or machine appliqué. We'll also discuss quilting options and how to include an easy sleeve for your banner as well. Perfect for a door banner or something fun to carry in your local July 4th parade. If you want to make the project later, no problem, you'll have access to the prerecorded video later. https://www.modernquiltstudio.com/product/we-the-people/

COMING UP - MARK YOUR CALENDAR
Slow Making: Come Stitch with Us
Saturday, February 21 | 2-3:30pm - Main Gallery
Free for Members and participating artists
Non-Members Suggested Donation - $5

Talk to the Artists:
Prior to the workshop artists from Threads of Identity will be present to share about their work and creative processes.

Workshop:
This workshop and gallery talk is an invitation to bring whatever you are already working on—knitting, crocheting, stitching, mending, or any quiet, hands-on project—and spend time making alongside others. There is no instruction and no expectation to finish anything. This is simply time and space to work, think, rest, and create together.

As we make, meditative music will play and slow stitch process videos will be projected, offering a steady rhythm and visual grounding.

You are welcome to talk, sit quietly, or move between the two. The focus is on slowing down, being present, and letting the act of making do what it naturally does—settle the body and open the mind.
