Event

Modern Quilt Guild Sew-In

Sunday, July 21, 2024
1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Radmacher Room

Chicago Modern Quilt Guild members host a drop-in opportunity to learn, watch, and hang out, for all sewing and quilting skill levels.

Observe guild members working on their own quilts, try your hand at quilting basics, or work on your own project. Whether you're starting with zero quilt knowledge or already have a project you're working on, this sew-in provides a chance to watch quilters in action, hang out, make things together, connect with others, and get support learning and working through creative challenges. Several sewing machines and hand-sewing materials will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their in-progress projects.

For inspiration, visit the adjacent exhibit, Take the Shirt off My Back, featuring 35 quilts fashioned with shirts from family, friends, and guild members' own closets.
