Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild Membership
Thank you for your interest in the Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild. Our memberships are for the entire calendar year regardless of when you register, and renew each year on January 1st.
A portion of your dues also covers your MQG membership so you do not need to separately purchase MQG membership. In addition to being a part of the local quilting community, members have access to all the resources of The Modern Quilt Guild as well.
Guests are welcome and invited to attend the first meeting for free. At or before the 2nd meeting, we ask that you join the Guild as a paying member.
Benefits of joining with the SLMQG & The National MQG are listed below.
If you have any questions, feel free to email the Guild President at saltlakemqg@gmail.com.
The SLMQG’s primary purpose is to create an environment that encourages modern quilt makers and quilt making by providing educational activities such as speakers and demonstrations, special interest workshops, and lectures. We aim to serve the community through charitable activities involving quilting, quilt donations, and educational outreach.
