Announcements
The Intro is for everyone …but to participate in the sew-along, you must be a member of MQA! So join us and come along on this journey with us. Special thanks to Katie McGovern for her work in EQ8 for our instructions, and to Morgan Wilson for her videography and editing assistance. And of course a big Thank you to Terri Hartmann for being our hostess for this series.
Our January video will be a few days late due to a delay in the fabric arriving. It should be up in a few days or a week.
Change in Dues
Due to rising costs we have raised the membership dues, effective January 1, 2026, our new dues will be $30 a year.
Legacy Quilters
We applaud these women who are over 65 years old for their excellent quilting skills, which have been recognized for contributing to quilting in Mississippi. Visit the Legacy page to view the quilters or nominate a quilter. Deadline is July 15.
