It's official. Today I became a member of the Modern Quilt Guild. I've been thinking about joining for some time now. I went back and fourth on whether or not I should join as an individual member or join through the local guild.
The San Diego MQG meets at a quilt shop that's about 30 minutes away. Even though the group meets only one day a month, that's still a far drive for me. And the fact that their meetings are on Sundays during the time I'm in church, really put a damper on me joining. So I figured for now I will just be an individual member. Maybe there are enough quilters in the beach areas -Pacific/Mission/La Jolla- that might be interested in starting a guild.
To celebrate my new MQG status, I decided to sign up for the Riley Blake Designs Fabric Challenge that the MQG is putting on.

Just look at the fabric I get to play with. I get a fat eighth of each fabric below sent to me and can supplement with any Riley Blake solid / basic fabric or their Cottage Garden collection. I can't wait for the fabric to arrive next month.
