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!
