Guilds that meet at IQ

Have you thought about joining a quilt guild but haven't found one yet? There are several that meet at Intown Quilters. Guilds are a great way to meet other quilters, get inspired, inspire others, learn new things, gain confidence and just have fun. You do not need to be a sewer or quilter to join a guild, just interested in sewing and/or quilting. Guilds are a great way to get yourself acquainted with the craft so that you have some ideas of what you are interested in when you get started.

This week we're launching a weekly profile of the guilds that meet at Intown Quilters. We're kicking it off with a peek at the Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild, which returns to IQ on Saturday the 30th. Watch for more guild profiles to come and try to visit each to see which of them you might enjoy joining.

Intown Quilters is welcoming back a familiar guild to our store. The Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild was started over a year ago in conjunction with a larger modern quilt guild movement started in Los Angeles. During this time, the ATLMQG has grown and developed its own unique focus on modern fabrics, piecing, and quilting.

The guild hosts monthly meetings, sew nights, an upcoming quilting retreat, and lots of guest speakers (including members of the guild). One of the best parts of their monthly meetings is the amazing show-and-tell the members bring. Intown will host meetings on the following dates: 7/30, 10/1, and 12/3 at 10:00 am. Although the guild has membership fees, your first meeting is always free. If you would like more information about the guild and want to see what they are up to visit their website.
