Because the scheduled workshop for April had to be canceled, the board has decided to go ahead with a regular monthly meeting. However, because of the speaker we've scheduled this month, the meeting will be held over Zoom.
Please help us welcome -
Sarah Ruiz - Region 2 Representative, The Modern Quilt Guild
Sarah Ruiz is a quilter and aerospace engineer from Houston, TX. Her creative and technical sides have always been intertwined, from drawing Disney characters and memorizing constellations as a kid to taking humans back to the moon and dreaming up new quilts today. Quilting perfectly combines her engineering and artistic mindsets, and she loves the puzzle-solving required to turn an idea into reality. Her quilts feature bright colors, bold lines, and graphic shapes that are easy to make but pack a visual punch. Her work has been displayed at QuiltCon and the International Quilt Festival, and published in Curated Quilts and QuiltCon magazines.
She is going to be speaking about her role at the MGQ and try to answer all our questions about the organization.
Do you have questions for Sarah? Please email them to stlmqg@gmail.org and we will be sure to pass them on to her to address at the meeting.
