About MQA

MQA is one of the most well-organized state quilting associations in the country. We have 3 gatherings a year, plus an educational seminar with a nationally-known teacher. Fall and Spring gatherings include demos and programs you can take back to your guild, and in June we have day-long workshops in Pearl where our own teachers lead classes to improve our skill repertoire.

Paducah!
I got to meet one of my heroes - Diane Gaudynski in Paducah - even got her to get a photo with me! Also saw Judy Spiers (she won an honorable mention on her miniature), and Barbara Newman's Best Hand Workmanship quilt. I tell you, these Mississippi gals can quilt!


Welcome to the newest connecting thread for MQA members and quilters from Mississippi and beyond!

About MQA
The Mississippi Quilt Association, founded in 1991, gives all quiltmakers and quilt enthusiasts opportunities to grow and develop their skills, gain knowledge about the history of quiltmaking, and to meet new friends with a common interest. In 2001 it received non-profit 501c(3) status under the IRS Code.

Gatherings
MQA has three "gatherings" each year - February, June and October - with meetings rotating to different areas of the state.
Meetings are normally held on Friday night and Saturday and include programs, classes, demonstrations, and a time for "show and tell".
The
June Gathering includes all-day workshops which are tailored to cover a variety of techniques and skill levels. Classes are taught by MQA members who are recognized for their expertise.

Educational Seminar
Each summer a nationally-known quilting instruction teaches an Educational Seminar in three strategic locations around the state.

For more information about MQA, please contact any of the officers, who are more than willing to tell you about our great organization!
