A new year is just around the corner. The beginning of a calendar year is always the time we quilters start thinking of fresh starts, new projects, and seeking out challenges. I know that’s true for me. Though I dropped off the making of a personal new year’s resolutions a long time ago, I still…
This topic is so exciting I thought it was worth its own blog post! A few months ago Perth Modern Quilt Guild purchased an AccuQuilt GO! Cutter and a bunch of dies for members to use at our monthly meetings. What can an AccuQuilt do, you ask? Well if you missed Jodie’s demo at the January meeting,…
Our meeting was held on the 19th of this month … a little earlier due to there being a public holiday in remembrance of our brave ANZACs later on in the month. Swaps dominated the meeting with squeals of delight from every corner (or was that just me when I received my new name badge?)…
Our “Easter” meeting was truly egg-cellent! The hall was packed with over 30 members in attendance… …and the afternoon tea station was groaning under the weight of Easter goodies.

Outgoing President’s report It has been a busy year for us at the Perth Modern Quilt Guild. Over the two years since we formalised as a Guild, we have grown from ten people meeting in a lounge room, to having 38 financial members. The growth of the guild has meant that finding an adequate venue…
The End of Financial Year has rolled round again and while that doesn’t mean much for us financially, it does mean a big meeting this Sunday because it’s…. (drum roll please!) AGM time We have 12 lovely ladies who have volunteered to help steer the PMQG for the next 12 months – find out who…
It was the same weekend as the biggest Quilt Fair on the Perth calendar, so it was not surprising that our get together was all abuzz with fabric talk and comparisons of special purchases. We were all enthusiastic and very busy. The afternoon began with lots of chatter and socialising in the kitchen area. We…
