Who We Are

We are the Pittsburgh Modern Quilt Guild, serving the Greater Pittsburgh area. We are a chapter of The Modern Quilt Guild.  Our roots are based in tradition with a modern twist.

PGH MQG Mission and Vision
The mission of the guild is to create a positive community of modern quilters interested in sharing knowledge of modern quilting techniques, patterns, modern fabrics, and quilt making. Fellowship will be encouraged through regular meetings, social gatherings, workshops, lectures, field-trips, community outreach and education, and other selected activities that encourages modern quilt-making and promotes an appreciation of this specific craft.

What our meetings are like
We aim to be less business-like and focus on growing as modern quilters. We try to limit the amount of time we spend on business at our monthly meetings in order to provide as much time as possible for guest speakers, demos, sew-a-longs, and whatever else comes our way. It's our goal to create a relaxed, positive environment where creating and growing as quilters is encouraged.


The biggest perk to membership in the Pittsburgh MQG is connecting with other people who share a passion for quilting and the modern quilting movement. As a member you can look forward to meeting each month with like minded individuals to share tips, advice, and feedback on your projects. If your significant other glazes over when you mention half square triangles, never fear, we never will.
