    How Many Quilts Can We Sew in 5 Hours??

    Celebrate NMQA's community service mission by attending the sew-in for Community Service after the membership meeting.  This year, we have big goals and a lot of quilts to finish in a short amount of time!  But with your help we can do it!  

    We will be working on 2 layouts—our familiar Warm Wishes and 50 for 50. We will have something for everyone—from piecing tops to doing simple crosshatch quilting on already pinned quilt projects.  Bring your machine and other tools and join in!  We will provide irons, cutting tables, cutters, extension cords, chairs.

    Guests welcome.

    2024 was a great year for community service with 681 quilts donated, lets beat the total for 2025!

    Lunch (TBD) will be provided at 12:00 or you can bring your own lunch.  And bring your own snacks and beverages!

    How To Make A Perfect Binding

    with Michelle Jackson

    -- a FREE workshop for members of NMQA and the ABQ Modern Quilt Guild!

    Join together with members of the ABQ Modern Quilt Guild and learn the secrets to a perfect binding from Michelle Jackson.


    Supply list: 

    • A quilted sandwich approx 12” to 24” square
    • Some fabric for binding (not already cut)
    • Cutting mat and rotary cutter
    • A good ruler
    • Sewing machine and supplies with a walking foot if you have one
    • Hand sewing supplies
    • Clips or pins
    • A pen or pencil (removable)for fabric is helpful 

    Michelle Jackson graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology and worked as a women’s lingerie designer in New York City.  In 2004, she started combining her new love of quilting with fashion, creating wearable art patterns.


    With a love of color and obsession to be more creative she moved quickly into art quilts. “This is where I feel at home; exaggerating color to capture moments and tell stories.” She says. “The most fun part of the design process is deciding what tweak of color to use to help people see what I want them to see, or feel what I want them to feel!”


    Michelle’s quilts have won numerous awards and appear in exhibits, galleries, magazines and books. Michelle also teaches and lectures on the use of color and light to tell a story in fiber.
