Modern Quilt Guild
An online community of quilters that met in person in Los Angeles in 2009, grew into guilds around the world and the largest modern quilt show anywhere, and still insists that modern quilting is a craft its makers define for themselves.

The outside view
An online community of quilters that met in person in Los Angeles in 2009, grew into guilds around the world and the largest modern quilt show anywhere, and still insists that modern quilting is a craft its makers define for themselves.

Their shape
The Guild
Where mastery is the price of belonging.
The Guild is the keeper of a craft and its standards, where belonging means meeting a real bar. Its gift is depth and trusted expertise, its challenge is opening up to newcomers and new ways.
Also reads toward The Movement and The Village.
