Last Month Review:
Thanks to all who joined our first virtual Pop Up Sew Day on October 25! There was lots of fun and socializing and widely agreed to do it again. Members can join the next virtual Sew Day Saturday November 14 from 10am-1pm. Zoom links will be emailed to members after the meeting.
Membership:
Carly sent out an email reminding members to renew by the end of December or they will be considered lapsed and will no longer be listed with the MQG mothership. Check in with Carly by email if you're not certain whether you need to renew!

Mini-Quilt Challenge
Inspired by Krista Hennebury’s example of making mini-quilts to keep yourself productive and to expand your style and design eye, Joanne will be leading a series of mini quilt challenges from now through June to help build our Modern aesthetic.
Check out the "mothership" Modern Quilt Guild site for more characteristics of modern quilting, and chose the subject of Negative Space for the first challenge. Check out the details on the MiniQuilt tab on this blog.
Thanks Kathleen for the notes!
