Two PMQG events this week

First up: The Portland Modern Quilt Guild's monthly meeting is this Thursday, May 19 from 7-9 pm. As usual, we meet at the PNCA at 1241 NW Johnson Street but this month we will be in classroom 205. This month we conclude our solid's challenge; please remember to bring your finished swapped solid's project. Additionally, Katie will be collecting the blocks for our PMQG Banner. Gail Weiss, Petra Anderson, Angie George-Pendleton and Cathy Fowler you are signed up to bring snacks to the May meeting. Everyone, please bring your own cup to take advantage of the water pitcher at the meeting. Finally, please RSVP to this post so we have an idea of how many chairs to set up.


And our second event: We also have another All Day Sew on Saturday, May 21st. Join us for sewing and socializing from 9 am to 5 pm at Fabric Depot, 700 SE 122nd Avenue in southeast Portland. The sewing day is FREE to members! If you're not a member but you'd like to join us, you can come for just $10.

What to bring:
Your project and sewing machine (don't forget the pedal, cord and machine feet!) A power strip or extension cord if you have one. Sewing tools. We will provide a couple ironing boards and irons and a couple of cutting mats but the rest is up to you! Remember rulers, rotary cutters, scissors, thread and pins! Consider labeling common items so they don't get mistaken for someone else's. Drinks and snacks as desired.

Please help us plan and set up appropriately by RSVPing to portlandmodernquiltguild@gmail.com if you're planning to come to the All Day Sew. We can't wait to spend a day enjoying laughter and the happy hum of sewing machines!

  2. YAY! I'm so excited to be able to go this Saturday... it will be my first all day sew. Now... what project to bring to work on?

    I'll also be at the meeting on Thursday, with some sort of gluten-free treat :)
