PMQG Monthly Meetings
Monthly meetings are held the first Saturday of the month. We begin with general guild business followed by our program. Show & Tell is our favorite way to wrap things up!

PMQG Community Service Projects
We choose and participate in a minimum of one service project every year.

PMQG Educational Programs
Presentations are usually given by our members and other local talent.  We also have workshops with prominent national talent from the quilting community.

PMQG Annual Challenges
Guild challenges are a great way to build new skills and step out of your comfort zone. The quilts are then displayed in a special exhibit at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival every February held in Hampton, VA.

PMQG Swaps, Blocks of the Month & Games
We like to spice things up with swaps, where members can give and receive. The Yankee swap is our favorite and can get a little rowdy!  We love games too! You never know what we will come up with to make a meeting more fun!

PMQG Sew-Ins
Sew-ins are a fun way to finish up your WIPs in the company of friends. Once a year we host a Charity Sew Day sew-in to work on the guild’s current Community Service project.

PMQG Members-only Facebook Group
Our Facebook group offers members a “family only” place to share, learn, and grow together.
