Our June meeting was a Sew-In. We met at Magical Minds Studio which is an art studio for children located in Oak Park, IL. It was a great space to gather, sew, and chat. Members worked on our charity project for Sarah’s Inn or their own personal projects.
Here are some photos from our sew-in – a good time was had by all!
We then ended the meeting with some Show and Tell. Refer to our guilds Instagram account (@chicagomqg or click on the “On Instagram” picture in the right side bar) to see some amazing quilts made by our members and more photos from our sew-in.
