🗻🥰 From our sister guild in Seattle.

💙 2026 Community Outreach Quilt

Designed by: Lindsey Berres
Pieced by: Seattle MQG Members
Quilted by: Dionne Hersh

Repost from .and.patchwork

It was such an honor to get to design the Community Outreach Challenge quilt for for QuiltCon this year. The theme was medallion quilts and we chose the blue color palette. So many members of the guild helped piece it, and it was beautifully quilted by Dionne Hersh

💙 In With the Rain Our love letter to Seattle, where rain is not simply endured; it is part of the city’s identity. It shapes our culture, energy, and creative spirit. Look past the shroud of our weather to find a city both innovative and resilient, moody and vibrant. From our morning coffees to our bustling markets, life glistens in shifting blues, while Mount Rainier stands watch over it all.

I promise not to reshare every post from The Modern Quilt Guild but 🤯 what an amazing quilt!

Mom Jeans, by Carolyn McKibbin, has won Best In Show at QuiltCon 2026!!

Best-in-Show is sponsored by the MQG. Congratulations Carolyn!

Carolyn’s artist statement reads: “Upcycled denim was the inspiration for this quilt. I cut up 9 old pairs of jeans I wore in early motherhood, ones that were sitting in a box taking up space waiting to be donated. Being aware that much of the clothing we donate ends up in the landfills and waterways of third-world countries, I opted to use this fabric to make a quilt that can provide warmth, comfort, and artistic expression.”
