Philanthropy
The guild mainly focuses on donating quilts to several different local organizations to help our community where the need is highest. Since our founding we have donated 100s of quilts to these groups. All of our finished projects can be seen in our Charity Quilts gallery.
We accept any size quilts or quilt tops, and also quilt blocks from our monthly charity quilt block initiative. We are always looking for help with piecing community quilts, quilting, backing, and binding.
Our other yearly charity project is the Quiltcon Commumity Outreach Quilt. Each year, The Modern Quilt Guild selects a theme and a color palette, and issues a Challenge to its local guilds to create quilts for their charitable projects. These quilts are displayed at the MQG annual convention, QuiltCon, and then donated to charity.
