Normally we meet on the 1st Saturday of the odd months. Exceptions occur if there are conflicts. This month is one of those exceptions. Members decided to meet the week before, rather than the weekend after so we didn’t have any problems with Mother’s Day.

Please update your schedules and Pencil us in!

Saturday, April 28th
10am to 2pm
Westport Public Library
(Seminar Room)

You can sign up on facebook or leave a comment so we know how many people to expect.

Reminders:

1. Modern Blocks: remember to bring your Mod Snowball blocks (photo coming soon)
2. Fabric Exchange – bring up to 1 yard of (SPRING)  fabric cut/torn into Fat Eights
3. Give & Take: Bring something to trade
4. Snacks: Bring a snack to share (enough for 2 or 3 people). We will bring bottled water and small plates.
5. Name Tag: Please wear your MODERN name tag
6. Show & Tell: We can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on! Bring one or more pieces to share!

The main reason for the change in meeting date is that many of our members belong to Northern Star Quilters’ Guild in Somers, NY.  NSQG is having their annual quilt show the weekend of May 5 & 6.  If you want to see a great show, it’s worth the trip!  Click here for more info!

Hope to see you APRIL 28th!

You are invited:

Welcome to our website, we would like to extend an invitation to our first meeting which will be held on Saturday, Jan., 7th at the Westport Public Library. Meeting will be held on the upper level in the Seminar Room. Click for directions

This first meeting will help us to get to know everyone and will be primarily used to set a foundation for our group.

In addition to discussing our future plans, we hope that members will participate in this month’s:

• Fabric Exchange: Bring in 1 yard of Modern fabric cut into Fat Eights*. We will swap these fabrics and you will go home with a mix of 8 fabrics. These will then be used to start our block swap.
• Give & Take: Bring in 1 or 2 items (Sewing/Quilting/Crafting) you no longer have a use for and take something else home.
• Show & Tell: Please feel free to bring several items you’ve been working on – these could be completed or in progress. We all love looking at new stuff.
• Lunch: Everyone is invited to bring a bagged lunch. There are also several local restaurants which will deliver, as well as a cafe in the main level of the library.

It would be very helpful if I could get an approximate count of how many people are planning on attending, so please leave a comment or send me an email.

*if you are unsure what a Fat Eight is, bring the whole yard and we’ll show you. Please only bring in quilt shop quality fabric.
