The Eugene Modern Quilt Guild General Meeting is a welcoming evening of creativity, learning, and community for quilters of all skill levels. Social time and setup begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Meetings conclude by 8:30 p.m.

This month, EMQG member Stephanie Bryant will lead a free pre-meeting skill builder, “Hand Embroidery You Can Use on Quilts.” Bring scissors and a thimble; Stephanie will provide everything else. Space is limited, so please register by emailing sanordby@jsn82.com.

During the meeting, EMQG member and retired physical therapist Missy Downy will present “Stitch & Stretch,” with practical guidance on ergonomic sewing setups and healthy posture. She will also lead movements and stretches designed to relieve tension and help prevent injuries caused by long periods of seated sewing.

Guests are always welcome and may attend up to two meetings or events before being asked to join the Guild.
