Spotlight: QuiltCon 2023 

SAMQG is part of the Modern Quilt Guild and one of the benefits is that you can attend QuiltCon for free.  February is when QuiltCon takes place and is the world's largest modern quilting event that happens over four days and includes workshops, lectures, special quilt exhibits, and a juried quilt show covering twelve judged categories.

The SAMQG is proud to highlight three of our members who had their quilts accepted as part of the juried quilt show.  Congratulations, Leslie, Terry, and Susan.

October 2017 Show & Tell

Another fantastic Show'n Tell from the talented group of quilters at San Antonio Modern Quilt Guild!

October 2017

The above pictures were shown & created by Stacy.

Great Urbanology Quilt, Michele!

Beautiful quilt and quilt back, Tony. 

Jen finally quilted this melting UFO quilt.

And congratulations to Sara R (left)! Allison, (right) on behalf of the guild, presented Sara this baby quilt. Thank you, Stacy for organizing the baby quilt stitching! The meeting happened a couple days past Sara's due date, and a couple more past that, her little one was welcomed into the world. 

October 2017 Halloween Mini Swap

Our SAMQG group is member driven. If we have a member who wants to host something or coordinate something we do it. It is pretty great. This philosophy helps shape the guild to be an organization you'd like to participate in. We don't generally have any "I wish we could do X with our guild." Nah, just decide to do it and do it!

Kassandra hosted and organized the Halloween Mini Swap with projects due & swapped at the October meeting. Here's a peek at the happy swappers.

SAMQG September 2017 Show'n Tell

Another fantastic show'n tell at the San Antonio Modern Quilt Guild! Check our our members' projects:

Mini Quilt Show and Auction

The San Antonio Modern Quilt Guild hosted its first annual Mini Quilt Show and Auction. Members were asked to make a 16" x 16" quilt to donate to the event. Read more about the guidelines here.

41 quilts were on display in the classroom at Sew Special Quilt Shop SA from May 1st to May 11th.

((If the video below doesn't load, watch the Mini Quilt Show here.))

The bidding opened and we were off to a great start. We hosted the event invitation on Facebook and you can see more images and comments there.

Thank you to the membership who pulled together to create an incredibly fun event. 

Thanks to the shop for hosting us.

Thanks to the community who bid and supported us.

Congratulations to our top prize winners:

The winner of the Viewer's Choice Award was Kelli for her piece, Mr. Snail.

The quilt that raised the most funds was Sarah R's paper pieced triangles.

 

We cannot wait to do it again next year!
