Change in Meeting Location

The Omaha Modern Quilt Guild is moving!

Beginning with our August meeting on Tuesday, August 7, 2018, we will hold our monthly Meetings at Sew Creative (2809 S. 125th Avenue in Omaha). Sew Creative is located in Westwood Plaza off 125th & West Center Road and is right next to Office Depot.

Nothing else has changed! We will still meet the first Tuesday of the month (except for January and July) from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. Doors still open at 6pm so come early to socialize and shop!

July Sewcial!

Just a reminder that due to the July 4th holiday, we will not have our regular monthly meeting at AccuQuilt on Tuesday, July 3. Instead, we will have an informal sewcial at the Milton R. Abrahams Library Branch at 5111 N. 90th Street (on the southeast corner of 90th & Fort).

Bring your sewing machine, sewing supplies and a project to work on. Don't forget your show & tell. (We love to see what everyone has been working on!) If you'd like, you can bring a snack to share. Join us for the entire time or just part of the evening. All are welcome!

Lincoln & Omaha MQG Mini Swap

Don't forget to sign up for the mini quilt swap between sister Modern Quilt Guilds of Lincoln and Omaha! After the sign up deadline of April 30, 2018, you will be assigned a partner from the sister guild and sent your swap partner's email to share ideas and preferences. Your completed mini quilt needs to be finished and delivered by July 14, 2018. The swap is limited to dues-paying guild members, but everyone is welcome to come sew at the Ashland Public Library (1324 Silver Street in Ashland, NE) on Saturdy, July 14 from 10am-4pm. (If you're coming to the Sew Day, please RSVP so we know we have enough room for everyone.)  Bring your sewing machine and sew the day away! Bring a brown bag lunch or eat in Ashland on your own. Around 2pm, swappers will enjoy an ice cream sundae bar for a sweet afternoon treat while we enjoy the exchange. The link with all the details and the sign-up form can be found here! We hope to see you there!

Omaha MQG March Meeting

Our March meeting will be Tuesday, March 6 at 6:30pm at AccuQuilt (8843 S. 137th Circle in Omaha). Doors open at 6pm to come early to socialize with fellow members. Our program will be "Confused Ramblings of a Disorganized Quilter" by our own Kristina Morrow. Through her trunk show, she will "allow" others to learn from her mistakes - lessons she learned when she made each quilt.

We will also have a brief business meeting, show & tell, a raffle and door prizes, and collect donations for Youth Emergency Services. Visitors are always welcome, so bring your friends!

We will meet this Saturday, March 10 from 10am until 2pm at the Swanson Library (9101 W. Dodge Road). Bring your sewing machine (or hand sewing project), basic sewing supplies and a project to work on. An optional project will be making 18" x 18" quilted pillow covers for the Junior Modern Quilt Guild of Broward County (Florida). They are making and distributing pillows to those affected by the recent school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. You can read more about their outreach project here.

We hope to see you at both events!

Rescheduled February Omaha MQG Meeting

The thought of no Omaha MQG meeting in February was unbearable, so we've rescheduled!

We'll be meeting in the auditorium of the New Cassel Retirement Center at 900 N. 90th Street (between W Dodge Rd and Western on the west side of the road). You can enter either through Main Entrance off circle drive or through the Auditorium entrance off of the North Parking Lot. If you go in main entrance they will ask you to sign in. It will be the same meeting we had planned for last Tuesday, just a different day and location. We hope to see you there!

We're also having our February Sew Day this Saturday, February 10 from 10am-2pm at Swanson Library located on the southwest corner of 90th & Dodge. Bring any project to work on and stay for all or just part of the day!

February Meeting Cancelled/Postponed

We are probably being overly cautious but have decided to cancel/postpone our meeting scheduled for tonight (Tuesday, February 6). With the time the snow is scheduled to start, rush hour and the roads may be a mess and it's probably best that everyone stay home and stay safe!

February 2018 Omaha MQG Meeting

The February meeting is right around the corner! Join us on Tuesday, February 6 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm at AccuQuilt (8843 S. 137th Circle in Omaha). We'll briefly discuss the survey results and invite members to share some of their 2018 quilting goals. The program will be "What is Modern Quilting?" by Stephanie Jacobson. Bring a modern quilt or two to share so members can identify the modern elements after the presentation. Doors open at 6pm, so come early to socialize. We hope to see you there!

We have a new feature on the blog...a page of local quilting events. Check back often to see what quilting events are going on in Omaha and the surrounding communities. We also have a guild calendar of Omaha MQG meetings, sew days and other guild-sponsored events. As meeting programs are set, details will be added to the calendar.
