Me and Cinzia Allocca from Deux Petites Souris are starting up a branch of the Modern Quilt Guild for the Montreal area in Quebec, Canada. We have put up a website for it: http://montrealmodernquiltguild.webs.com/.
The original MQG was founded in Los Angeles back in 2009. It has rapidly grown and now has more than 100 chapters all around the world.
There was no branch close to us, so we are taking the initiative to start a branch for Montreal. Both me and Cinzia have been sharing our interest for modern quilting through our blogs and flickr groups. But, we would also like to have the opportunity to meet in person with people who have the same passion to exchange techniques, inspiration, fabrics, etc. and to collaborate on sewing projects.
You are from Montreal and would have an interest for the guild, register on our website. We are currently looking for people to join and places to meet. We will post some update as soon as we have the details.
Good for you! Perhaps I should start one here although I think I`ll be the only member!
Maybe, but you might be surprised! It's cool how the internet enables to people sharing the same interest even if we are far away. Lets see how many people we will find here in Montreal!
How exciting! I was happy to find your blog today through the Modern Mini Challenge (congrats on being a finalist with your gorgeous quilt!) and when I saw you were from Montreal, I thought, "there should be a MQG in Montreal"! I'm pleased to see that you're working on it. I founded the Vancouver MQG and I wish you all the best as you get going!
