How to Get Started:
- Begin your panel using the instructions available on our website.

- Once your panel is underway, visit our event page to find a local gathering or create your own, so your work can be displayed alongside others.

Save the Date:
Mark your calendar for September 20, 2026! On this day, panels from communities nationwide will come together for the first of many local and national exhibitions, showcasing the collective creativity of United We Stitch.

Share Your Work:

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/
