Portland Modern Quilt Guild

Portland Modern Quilt Guild A friendly group of modern quilters in Portland, Oregon, the metro areas and beyond! We meet monthly to learn and share.

Welcoming and inclusive, we embrace modern quilting, sharing our work, and caring for our community. We are a group of Modern Quilters who are addicted to sewing, fabric, and learning new techniques. Our group came together in 2010 as a part of the Modern Quilt Guild movement. We also meet monthly to sew together and host other events, such as charity sewing.

🌈🧵 Celebrate Pride Through Quilts Across Portland! 🧵🌈

There’s still time to experience two inspiring quilt exhibitions celebrating Pride Month through color, creativity, storytelling, and community.

✨ Threads of Pride and Protest

Members of the Portland Modern Quilt Guild explore Pride through identity, memory, joy, visibility, resistance, and belonging. From bold rainbow-inspired designs to deeply personal narratives, these quilts reflect the many ways Pride is expressed and experienced.

📍 Art At The Cave Gallery
📅 Through June 27, 2026

✨ Voices in Rainbow: Say It in Color

Now celebrating its fifth year, this beloved annual exhibition fills the gallery space at Powell’s Books with vibrant rainbow quilts created from the heart. Each piece sparks conversation, creates connection, and celebrates the power of art, community, and self-expression.

📍 Powell’s Books, Third Floor Gallery
📅 Through June 30, 2026

Whether you're a quilter, art lover, or simply looking for a colorful way to celebrate Pride, we invite you to visit these exhibitions before they're gone. Thank you to all the artists who shared their creativity, stories, and voices through fabric.

🧵✨ PMQG Business Member Spotlight: Cavalier Quilts ✨🧵

This month we're shining a spotlight on Cavalier Quilts, a home-based longarm quilting business dedicated to helping quilters bring their projects to life—finishing quilts one stitch at a time.

Owner Jannae Duncan began her quilting journey in 2004 through a local charity group and took the leap into longarm quilting in 2021. Today, she offers digital edge-to-edge, custom, and ruler work quilting services, helping fellow quilters transform unfinished tops into beautiful completed quilts.

Named in honor of her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cavalier Quilts combines quality craftsmanship, personalized service, and affordable pricing to help every quilt reach the finish line.

🐾 From first stitch to final binding, Cavalier Quilts is passionate about helping quilters complete projects they'll treasure for years to come.

Saturday, June 20th
From 1:00–2:00 PM

As part of the Pride and Protest exhibition, Portland Modern Quilt Guild members Buck Jeppson and Jeanne Webber will share insights into their quilt practices, creative processes, and the stories behind their work.

They'll also talk about the history of the Portland Modern Quilt Guild and how a community of makers can come together to create work that is personal, meaningful, and impactful.

Whether you're a quilter, an artist, or simply curious about the stories quilts can tell, this is a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from two talented artists whose work is featured in the exhibition.

We hope to see you there!

PMQG June Lecture: Sarah Hibbert

Thursday, June 18th
Starting at 7:00 pm
At the Multnomah Arts Center in the GYM & Online via Zoom

From traditional quilting roots to internationally recognized modern textile art, this artist's creative journey is one of exploration, innovation, and craftsmanship.

Based just outside London, she combines a love of timeless linen, hand quilting, and modern design to create work that bridges tradition and contemporary expression. Inspired by both fabric and paper collage, her quilts reflect a thoughtful design process where texture, color, and storytelling come together.

Her work has been acquired by major institutions, including The Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles and the International Quilt Museum in Nebraska, and has been featured at festivals and exhibitions across the UK, Europe, South Korea, and the United States.

From solo galleries such as Linen Works to the collaborative exhibition The Space Between, her quilts continue to connect audiences across cultures and generations.
