25.01.2022 Don't forget your electrical cords, sewing machine cords (dont need to bring machine), power boards, irons, extension cords etc for tag and testing Wednesday night. We need a minimum amount for him to come out at night for the good rate we get. Note: Newtown Bay rowing club doesnt require tagging at this point in time, but most other venues do and they do appreciate us doing the right thing. Payments will be individual to the electrician this time so please bring suitable cash. Price to be confirmed. If you need things tagged but cannot attend you can drop them at Quarter Inch by 4pm Wednesday and pickup again on Thursday. Please name all items or put all into a named bag. QI will not be responsible for missing items otherwise.

24.01.2022 Lot's of quilty inspiration and a few Aussie names if you've got some time to spare: https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/beyond-foq-quilt-co/

24.01.2022 The fire is roaring, the fabric is fabulous, and it's a lovely outing to New Norfolk to visit Janine's @thequiltedteapot. #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #modernquilts #modernquiltguild #mqg #mymodernquiltguild #mymqg #makemodern #showusyourmqg #tasmania

21.01.2022 We're one day and one week away from our first guild meeting since - well, I don't remember - FOREVER! So this is a reminder that NAME TAGS are MANDATORY! If you aren't wearing a name tag at the August meeting, there is a 50 fine (which will go towards our charity sewing). A name badge doesn't need to be elaborate - it doesn't even need to be sewn if you don't have time! It just needs to show your name clearly for others to read. If you would like to make a name badge, you can find lots inspiration and patterns by doing a quick google search.

20.01.2022 We're doing it! We're stitching, chatting, laughing - and socially distancing while doing it! This is the first time we've met as a group since before lockdown, so it's lovely to see everyone! We're thinking of our sister guilds as well, including Perth Modern Quilt Guild who are also meeting today, as well as members of the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild who are in lockdown and unable to meet. Quilt safely! The Modern Quilt Guild

13.01.2022 Sunday evening, and I don't know about you - but the only thing exciting me about this coming week is the prospect of seeing quilty friends at our meeting on WEDNESDAY! So far the weather report doesn't look lethal, so we should be all good to go!!
