How Do Day Retreats Work?	Bring your machine and projects, set yourself up, and enjoy three days of sewing and camaraderie! Or if your calendar is full of conflicts, choose one or two days and join us when you can. This is a great, low-pressure way to meet up with other people in the Guild. Each night you'll go home and sleep in your own bed, but you can leave your stuff at Quilting Mayhem and it'll be ready to go when you return the next day. On Saturday we have added a small room to accommodate a few more folx! We should have enough tables to reserve one double table as a workspace to sandwich quilts.
Food + Lodging:	If you want to arrange to stay in the Snohomish area c lick here. Bring your own lunch and snacks, or grab a bite locally. There is a refrigerator (no freezer) and microwave if you wish to bring your lunch. Saturday night 10/3, Snohomish hosts a Mrs Roper Romp for an extra bit of fun.
What to bring:	Your own sewing gear and projects Cutting mat (there are a few on hand, but not many) Task lamp, if you like lots of light on your work. The lighting in the room is good, but more never hurts. If you want a design wall, you may wish to bring it. Quilting Mayhem has a few pieces of foam board covered with flannel (about 4 x 8). Please leave these home: Irons, ironing boards Extension cords
Parking + Tips for sewing at Quilting Mayhem:	There is a parking lot and lots of street parking around the shop. You can park near the front door to unload, but then please move your car to the street or to the far end of the lot to leave spaces close to the door for shoppers. Large carts are available to load your gear onto, and an elevator to take it to the second floor.
*Bonus!*	If you forget something, Quilting Mayhem is large quilt shop, conveniently just downstairs. Retreat participants get 15% off!
Accessibility:	SMQG wants everyone to be able to participate comfortably. If you’d like to discuss accessibility needs of any kind, including financial accessibility, please email programs@seattlemqg.com. Scholarships are available, email hello@seattlemqg.com for details and information on how to apply.

Bothell Fourth Tuesday Sew-In (October) (October 27, 2026)

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

This FREE sew-in is located in downtown Bothell at the Community Room at the Bothell Police Station. The event is open to all Seattle MQG members.
Since this is not a maker space, you will need to bring all of your own supplies, but the space is full of tables, power, and has good lighting.

For evening meetings, there is parking in the lot at the station and across the street in two directions. There is a big flight of stairs from the lot to the room, but next to the stairs is a great ramp. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed.

Drop-ins are welcome, but our organizers Teri and Martha greatly appreciate it if you register for each session.

Reach out to the organizers or Programs with questions.

November General Meeting with Stephanie Forster (November 11, 2026)

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 03:00:00 GMT

Location: Online Only	Join us on zoom!
Mingle + Meeting Times:	Meeting starts at 7:00 pm; Program begins at 7:15. Zoom: The Zoom room opens early and stays open throughout the meeting. zoom link [login required]
Speaker:	Stephanie Forester (Bookends Quilting)
Topic:	TBA
About the Speaker:	Artist Statement: I'm Steph, the creator behind all things Bookends Quilting. I've been quilting since I was 18 after my best friend suggested we make quilts before heading off to college in the fall. I was immediately hooked and purchased my own sewing machine shortly after. I've been making quilts for the past 13 years now and I still love it just as much as I did then. I dabble in other arts (painting and drawing) and crafts (building furniture), but there's always been something about a finished quilt that gives me all of the cozy feels. Especially since I can snuggle in with a quilt and read a book, which is also a major hobby of mine.
	Speaker's Location: Zoom Workshop Offered: No See the Calendar of Everything
Reminders:	Hoping to meet folks before or after the meeting, or set up a carpool? The guild Discord is the perfect place to jump in! Remember to send your photos for Sew and Tell to hello@seattlemgq.com by 8 pm on the Tuesday directly before the meeting. In person - bring your items for the free table and quilts for sew and tell!

General Meeting: Patty Murphy "Zero Waste Quilting" (January 13, 2027)

Thu, 14 Jan 2027 03:00:00 GMT

When: Wednesday, January 13, 2027; 7-9 pm (pacific)

Zoom Room opens at 6:30 pm, come early for mingling and chatting!

Program starts shortly after 7 pm.

Location: Zoom Only for January Meeting

zoom link [login required]

Special Guest: Patty Murphy (presenting via zoom)

️Topic: Zero Waste Quilting

Zero Waste Quilting returns to the heart of the craft by encouraging mindful consumption, honoring the tradition of using leftover scraps, and embracing the creative power that comes from working within constraints. With limited sustainable options currently available—mostly organic goods or up‑cycled materials—this approach offers a practical path forward by helping quilters use new materials responsibly and ensure every bit of fabric has a purpose. Through intentional buying, thoughtful stash use, strategic augmentation, and waste reduction, students learn to design purposefully, curate meaningful projects, and make every stitch count while bridging the gap between creativity and environmental consciousness.

About our Guest speaker:
From childhood hours spent watching my mom sew to discovering quilting as a teenager, textiles have been the constant thread running through my life. That journey led me to write Piecing Makeover, The Perfect Piecing Pocket Guide, and Zero Waste Quilting, a reflection of my commitment to both craft and sustainability. Fabric has always been home for me, and it continues to shape everything I make.

More about Sarah Goer:

I help quilters build their improv piecing skills in a fun and playful way, so they are inspired to create their own unique designs.

My classes are a bit of a choose your own adventure, packed with tips and tricks as well as permission to play. Part of my joy in teaching is to see the many unique perspectives that develop from the same prompt.

Based in San Jose, California, I learned to sew as a child and was drawn to the color and geometry of quilting after college. As a former middle school math teacher, I combine my eleven years of classroom experience with my nearly two decades of quilting experience to bring clear instruction to my quilt students. Students appreciate my easy going, nurturing style.

Join Kimberly and begin your journey to becoming a true Cordwainer!

In this workshop, we will work together to create a new pair of sneakers, using a sneaker kit. Your sneakers can be built using quilted fabric, leather/suede, vinyl or any material you feel you can work with to cut into a pattern and sew onto a sole.

We will trace the pattern, cut it out, punch holes for the soles and for the laces and finish with a brand new one-of-one made by you, pair of sneakers. This is typically a full-day (six hour) workshop, intended to provide enough time to complete a pair of sneakers if that is the student’s goal.

You will have to purchase your size in the sneaker kit, which includes a pair of soles, insoles and a free pattern, which you can access online or included in the kit. There are at least 6 style options to choose from (in the online version), including a couple of sandal like patterns for the summer.

Special Guest: Laura Hartrich (presenting via zoom)

️ Topic: Labels as a Love Letter

In this presentation Laura will talk about how labels factor into quilt making practice. She will share lots of images as I discuss technique, inspiration, and motivation for creating labels as detailed and unique as quilts themselves.

About Our Guest Speaker:

I’m a fiber artist who works

primarily in quilts—some created as heartfelt, well‑loved gifts meant to be used, washed, squished, and taken on picnics, and others made as art pieces exploring reflection, acceptance, time, and memory. I live just outside Chicago with my family and recently began my career in occupational therapy, a field centered on the meaning found in everyday activities. That lens shapes my work, inspiring quilts that examine daily patterns, routines, and experiences; by making the personal public, I hope to spark connection, commiseration, and a bit of humor.

Workshop Offered?: Yes: Label Level Up + Embroider Your Handwriting (In Person!)

Class: Label Level Up + Embroider Your Handwriting

Creating a label is an important step in the quilting process. Labels provide documentation and preserve stories that could otherwise be lost. In this workshop students will consider both content and technique for labels.

Students will learn about various techniques to make a label in a range of simple to more complex. They will spend time drafting labels for current or future quilts, working in small groups to encourage and inspire each other. Students will learn that labels can be as unique as fingerprints, and be empowered to find a style that works for them.

In addition, students will learn to use their own handwriting as a template for embroidering text on any project, including labels.

Skill Level:

Some embroidery/hand stitching experience is recommended for this course.

Supply List [download]:

REQUIRED:

Please come to class with current or past quilt that needs a label in mind.

notebook and pen or pencil for notetaking/brainstorming/planning

small embroidery hoop (5-7 inches preferred)

light colored scrap fabric (8-10 inches square)

Special Guest: Karen Bolan (presenting via tbd)

️ Topic: See Color In a New Way

The opportunity to play with color has drawn people to quilting for generations. Whether using intuition, color theory, or simply what we have on hand, we have all developed color palettes for our quilts that speak to us in some way. What are they saying? In this trunk show lecture, explore different properties of color and see them in action. Follow Karen's journey as she seeks to understand color and how to use it for the biggest impact.

About Our Guest Speaker:

Karen Bolan is a quilter in Santa Rosa, California. She is drawn to the layers of design and expression possible in quilting, and she loves the learning that comes from experimenting. Her designs are out of the box, and integrate a love of geometry, experimentation, interconnection, depth, and texture. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines including recent features in Quilts Japan, Make Modern, and the QuiltCon Magazine, and her quilts have been exhibited at local and international shows including QuiltCon, Pacific International Quilt Festival, and the de Young Museum. Learn more about Karen’s work and quilting travel experiences by visiting her website at www.KarenBolan.com.

Instructor: Karen Bolan

Class: Special Effects with Color

Journey into color mastery by creating illusions and tricking the eye. Color is one of the most exciting things about quilting, and yet it’s easy to feel unsure about our choices.By understanding how we see color and then creating illusions with color, students can develop color confidence and giddy enjoyment.

In this class, learn to define and use basic color theory terminology; apply the principles of additive and subtractive color as they relate to vision, light, and the physical world; create mutable color illusions; create a color palette with afterimage effects; and create transparency illusions including a complex transparency illusion with more than two overlapping shapes and textures.

Class will begin with lectures, demonstrations, and exercises, then students will sew a sampler block.

Skill Level: Everyone!

Participants should know the basics of quilting, such as cutting, sewing a straight line and how to operate their sewing machine.

This class will require:

Sharing fabric
A sense of play!

Supply List [download list here]:

REQUIRED:

Fabric:

Bring 10-20 different solid fabrics, one 5” square or strip of each color, in a variety of different colors including lights, darks, mediums, bright colors, greyed-out colors, browns, and everything in between.

Don’t try to find only colors you like; even the difficult colors will be useful here.

Don’t bring anything precious; your colors will join the “community” pile to use during class, and you will not be taking home what you brought (you will be taking home your exercise sheets and sample block).

Sewing machine in good working order, and your favorite sewing notions.

Rotary cutter, cutting mat, and 6” square quilting ruler (the size is not that important; bigger is fine too)

Fabric Scissors

Glue stick

Pen or pencil for taking notes

Quilts in the Park and Summer Social (August 07, 2027)

Sat, 07 Aug 2027 17:00:00 GMT

When*: A Saturday or Sunday in August, ~~10 am - 1 pm~~

Location*: TBD - a park in Seattle

* date, time + location will be announced by Mid April

after the Seattle Picnic Reservation lottery concludes.

Calling All Seattle Modern Quilt Guild members,

community quilt enthusiasts and friends/family!

WHO: Invite your friends, family, and dear ones (yes this can include the pets!) to mingle with other SeaMQG quilty folx for a summer social and admiring of quilts! Everyone, including community members, welcome!

WHAT: Bring a quilt (or a few!) to be admired. As this is an outdoor event, please provide your own tarp/ground cover for your quilt(s). If you have extras, bring them incase they're needed. Quilt stands tend to topple in the breeze.

FOOD: The grill fires up around 11- 11:30 am and goes until the food runs out. We'll be serving up basic picnic food, think hot dogs and chips. Please bring a dessert or picnic themed side to contribute to the snacks! Kindly label allergens if a homemade dish.

You're on your own for beverages (bring your water bottle for water).

OUTDOOR VENUE: Please anticipate all the usual outdoor variables: uneven ground, sun, wind, people, pets and general park activity. Public restrooms are nearby, and we may even have curious community members wander over (which we love!).

A short, level or paved walk from parking to the picnic area is expected. We select locations with as much ADA access as a public park can offer, but if walking distance is a concern, consider street parking which maybe close than the parking lot if available). We are unable to reserve parking spaces.

PARKING/TRANSPORTATION: (from 2026)

It's a short walk to the PICNIC SHELTER #5 at the north end of the park, towards the wading pool/sport field from the north parking lot. [MAP HERE] We have the covered shelter reserved as well as many uncovered picnic tables. There are restrooms nearby.

~~There are two parking lots a north lot (much closer to where we are at) and a south lot. The south lot is much closer to the ferry.~~

Street parking- only on the east side of the street. Street parking on the side closest to the park will not be available until after 3 pm. Spots by the 76 gas station are very nearby.

Easy bus access as the C line stops right near the park.

Photographs are from Quilts in the Park 2026

Special Guest: Émile Trahan (presenting via zoom)

️ Topic: Quilt As You Grow

In a talk she calls “Quilt as You Grow”, Émilie will share what inspires her and walk us through her design process, in the hope of sparking our journey into quilt improvisation.

About Our Guest Speaker:

I cut fabric and sew it back together, an improvisational, self‑taught practice that began in 2013 during a year of upheaval. Rooted in quilting’s origins and shaped by environmental values, I work entirely with upcycled materials, making new from the old. Quilting is my way of exploring connection—heritage, the present moment, and the intangible—while translating ideas of time, the universe, and the unseen into abstract, tactile form. Color and shape are my poetry, improvisation is my joy, and play keeps the work light. By day I’m a palliative care physician, a perspective that naturally threads life and death through my quilts.

Workshop Offered?: No

Additional Happenings at this Meeting:

This is the last general meeting of the year - hope to see you at the winter holiday gathering in December!

Free Sew ins are the best place

to get second opinions, creative support

and connect with other guild members!

All Guild Members are Welcome!
Drop ins welcome, Registering is very appreciated!

Bring:

Your sewing supplies, machine and projects!

Since this is not a maker space, you will need to bring all of your own supplies, but the space is full of tables, power, and has good lighting

Not sure what to work on? cutting fabric, binding, quilting lap‑size or smaller quilts, piecing, and handwork are great options. Bringing 1-3 projects to a sew in can provide creative variety

Snacks! Lots of options nearby for dinner, coffee, or bring your own meal in. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed.
Your Guild Name tag and friendly vibes!

️Parking:

Carpooling is encouraged!

Parking tips:

For evening meetings, there is parking in the lot at the station and across the street in two directions. There is a big flight of stairs from the lot to the room, but next to the stairs is a great ramp.

Registration for sew ins open approx 1 month before the sew in on the calendar of everything.
