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 make time for sewing together to work on community giving projects, creative challenges or our own projects. It's casual, fun and we love seeing what everyone is making!
We love to share our quilting with others
We work together on making donation quilts that are gifted to organizations in the Treasure Valley for folks in need. Each month or so, a recipient organization will be selected and donated quilts will be delivered all at once to that organization.
We love to learn more about quilting
Whether it's a guest teacher or one of our own members, we host a number of classes, lectures and tutorials 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.
