Online Quilt Guild

If you've subscribed to my newsletter for a while, you'll have heard about the Online Quilt Guild. I've somehow neglected to mention it properly here though, so now it's time to remedy that. The Online Quilt Guild is the brainchild of Becky Jorgensen of Patchwork Posse. Becky has put so much work into the group, it's truly amazing value and really worth checking out.

How it works

The Quilt Group starts the day you join. Everything from 2015 is available once you join, as well as the year to date. During each month there will be a fun sewing project, two block of the months, a doll or plushie pattern, printable, guest designer pattern, with the occasional mystery quilt, sew along, swaps and giveaways. Each Sunday you will get an email from the quilt group about what’s happened during the week- but the group online is always open! You can share any time during the day.

Why should you be part of “the quilt guild”?

The group is online. You will have access to all the patterns, members and show and tell 24/7. No missing out on anything. This is a group that fits your schedule, has members that are passionate about quilting, gets you excited about designers you would normally not have access to.

When you join you will also have full access to 2015 patterns - both in the group and by the guest designers. There are more patterns than you have time! You will be kept sewing all year long.

Besides the private Facebook group where you can upload pictures, ask questions and meet other members, you can also share your work over on Instagram - we’ll be using the hashtag #quiltguild you can follow on Instagram here. There is also a private forum at the website to upload photos and interact with other members.

Becky is the chief designer, providing lots of patterns for a variety of sewing projects. Joining her this year are guest designers: Jacquelynne Steves, Bustle & Sew, Christa Quilts, SewCanShe, GillyMac Designs, Esch House Quilts, Quilty Habit, May Chappell, Cute Quilt Patterns, and New Leaf Stitches, and me! More about the Guest Designers here.
