The following is an article submitted by Betsy Cannan:

The third meeting/gathering of the Maine Modern Quilters will be held in Augusta at Buker Community Center on Dec. 8, 2012 from 2-4 P.M. at 22 Armory St., room 9. (across from the Armory and near Burger King)  Quilters of all ages and skill levels are welcome!  Come on in!!!! Carolee Withee and Jane Hann-Morey will present on methods of inserting circles into quilts.  For those interested we will start the “Rip and Tear” modern quilt project challenge.

In our previous meetings we have learned from presenters, shared wonderful Show and Tells, books, magazines and techniques, and openly discussed our individual needs of being in this group. 

We are now on the international registry of The Modern Quilt Guild, have a website and a face book page.

 Below are pictures from our last meetings:
