About the Guild:
In Summer 2014, we held a series of 'organizational gatherings’ of our newly formed Guild, and by summer's end, we had 14 Founding Members. In 2015, membership doubled. Today, we have 32 members, both year-round and seasonal visitors.

For two yeas, we have been meeting weekly for 'Evening Gatherings" at the West Tisbury Public Library, and for "First Saturday"  Meetings meetings at the Oak Bluffs Library.  

Quilters of all kinds and potential quilters are all welcome. Although our name is the Martha's Vineyard Modern Quilt Guild, it is important to know that our view of 'Modern' is quilting post-1850. :-)

Together, we are creating the future of the Martha's Vineyard Modern Quilt Guild, and we look forward to seeing the direction our group takes.  All are welcome to join the fun! 

- Linda Chapman, Katherine Long, Kim Kotrill, and Wendy Nierenberg
