BMQG Founding President
Thanks to everyone who joined us last Saturday for a great trunk show from BMQG’s founding president, Christy Foltz. Our deep appreciation to Christy and all she's done for BMQG! We would not be here celebrating 15 years had she not launched us into existence. And, a big thanks also to Vice President Mary Simmons for running a great meeting.
Check out photos, meeting notes and lots and lots of upcoming quilty things!
At the Boise Modern Quilt Guild...
... we explore the world of modern quilt designs and sewing. We are dedicated to encouraging, helping, learning and sharing all we can from each other along the way.
We love to sew and quilt
We get together for Sew Days almost every month of the year. It's casual, fun and there's even show and tell!
We love to share our quilting with others
We work together on the various parts of making donation quilts and then give them to organizations in the Treasure Valley for folks in need.
We love to learn more about quilting
Whether it's from a guest teacher or one of our own members, we host a number of classes and lectures throughout the year.
Many hands make light work
Our guild works together to make quilts, bags, and other items that we donate to community organizations. We’ve provided zipper pouches and drawstring bags filled with personal hygiene items to local shelters, as well as quilts to hospitals, shelters and other organizations. To see a list of Boise-area recipient organizations, types of sewn items they accept and other pertinent information, visit our Community Giving page.
We're a chapter of the MQG
Membership to the Boise MQG includes membership to the international Modern Quilt Guild, and access to the MQG website with all the resources available there.
