Hello quilters and quilt lovers! We hope and pray that you and your loved ones are healthy and in good spirits as we do what is necessary to avoid and contain the COVID-19 virus. Your friends at SMQ are hopeful you have found positive ways to pass the time as we shelter in place.

You are invited to share your thoughts and activities on our Facebook page and follow what others are doing.

While guild activities involving physical presence have been currently suspended, quilt show planning is still active although limited to Internet activity. We aren't able to predict when this pandemic will pass, but we find ourselves in a position where we need to be prepared to have our show if normal activity returns.

We are continuing to be optimistic about our
40th ANNUAL SMQ QUILT SHOW scheduled for July 31- August 1, 2020.  

We are hoping to see an influx of show entries for many of the quilts being made under quarantined conditions. Please make our show a priority as you create your quilted treasures.

We are accepting entries now and when human interaction is once again established.
 
 
Stay safe and QUILT ON!!!
