SUMMARY:June 2025: Kathy Cook - Let's Talk Temperature Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Cook is a modern improv quilter from Bloomington\, Illinois. A member and former president of Bloomington/Normal MQG\, she loves to share her enthusiasm and obsession for quilting.

Kathy will talk about how to make a key and where to find current and historical data.

SUMMARY:May 2025: Solid Fabrics 101
DESCRIPTION:Do you use solids in your quilting? Have you wondered “why this brand or that brand”? Do you simply buy what is on hand at your LQS or big box craft store? Have you ever bought what you thought was the same color by the same manufacturer and found them to be not quite the same? What is up with that? Have you ever hunted for the perfect shade\, but weren’t sure you checked everywhere? \n\n\n\nHeather Kinion will talk about what goes into making solid fabrics as well as give an overview of many of your options when it comes to solid manufacturers; you will even get to feel the difference with samples from several different fabric lines.

SUMMARY:November 2024: How Do You Find the Time? with Member Expert Laura Hartrich
DESCRIPTION:We all have a finite amount of time in the day\, and we all have various commitments and demands on that time.  Social media can make us feel like everyone is finishing more quilts than we are. Don’t you ever wonder how they find the time? Laura does! \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn how other quilters manage their sewing time\, how they carve out moments\, and how they think about time spent on their craft at various seasons of life. This will be a fun exploration of how others manage to make time for making\, and will provide some realistic inspiration for how we can make the most of our precious time.  \n\n\n\nLaura Hartrich is an award-winning artist working primarily in fiber with a focus on quilts. She lives near Chicago with her family (1 husband\, two kids\, two cats). Laura recently began her career in occupational therapy\, a field focused on the importance of everyday activities. Laura applies this lens to her art\, creating quilts that thoughtfully examine her daily patterns\, routines\, and experiences. By making the personal public\, she hopes to foster connection\, commiseration\, and even humor. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is free to members and guests.

SUMMARY:Foundation Paper-Pieced Architecture: A Workship with Cassandra Beaver
DESCRIPTION:Explore the world around you by translating it into a pictorial quilt! In this step-by-step course\, we will translate your community’s buildings and architectural elements into foundation paper piecing designs that capture your world. We will start with an overview of how to break down an architectural image into piecable components. Then\, each participant will create a custom paper-pieced design featuring a building or architectural element of their choice using tracing paper and a pencil. (Techniques taught will translate to the computer programs of the participant’s choice once out of class.) We will finish the class by sewing a portion of the designs.

SUMMARY:Take the Shirt Off My Back: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Artists from the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild proudly celebrate their exhibition Take the Shirt Off My Back\, featuring 35 quilts fashioned with shirts from family\, friends\, thrift stores\, and the artists’ own closets. \n\n\n\nChicago Modern Quilt Guild presents a collection of quilts showcasing the work of their talented and creative members. Take the Shirt Off My Back showcases the bevy of beautiful\, inventive ways that materials can be repurposed\, reused\, and given new life. With consciousness of the widespread waste in the fabric and clothing industry\, repurposing and sustainability was at the heart of this challenge.   \n\n\n\nEach quilt tells a different story — sparking inspiration towards eco-friendliness in all parts of peoples’ lives — and hopes to leave a lasting impression on viewers. \n\n\n\nThe Chicago Modern Quilt Guild is an open-spirited community group\, including all. The group believes that respecting different cultures and gender identifications enriches and enhances the guild.
