MTQG Mini Groups are smaller interest-based groups that meet at various times and locations in addition to the large monthly meetings. There are currently ten groups that are open, and new and recent members are encouraged to check them out to see if there is a spot for you in one (or more) of these. This is a great chance to enjoy friendship, idea-sharing, and support in a small group setting. In addition, there are seven groups that are full, but are listed to show how much creative activity goes on behind the scenes at MTQG.
Focus on mystery quilts. Members take turns within the group picking out and leading a mystery project, giving out new clues or steps in the project every month or so. Past mysteries have resulted in queen and king size quilts. The most amazing part is seeing how the same pattern turns out because of the different fabric selections.
Focus is on constantly evolving projects of interest to members who share ideas that are considered by the group. Meetings often include swapping fabrics or blocks. Ideas are discussed and projects planned at meetings. Actual sewing is normally done at home. Projects vary in time of completion from one month to several months and allow time for everyone to keep up. Frequent Show and Tell sessions include finished projects resulting from swaps as well as independent projects from members. December meeting is an annual holiday luncheon.
