Thursday, June 26th - Anna Dineen - My Wandering Path
Anna calls herself a lifelong “serial crafter”. She admits to having dabbled in just about every craft that involves a needle and thread, paper and glue, or textiles of any kind. Her crafting career began in 2011 when she combined her love of paper-crafting with her entrepreneurial spirit to renovate a turn-of-the-century home into a luxury crafting retreat center.
But the happiest chapter of Anna’s creative journey opened in 2016, when she began quilting in earnest, launched her blog and an Instagram account.
Since then, she’s worked in the marketing department for a major fabric manufacturer; sewn countless projects for quilt markets, blog tours, and quilting books; has contributed to a Moda All Stars book; and continues to freelance in social media for creative businesswomen.
And after several years of designing and writing patterns, she started a pattern company for her original quilt designs.

Thursday, August 28th - Destash is Back!
August is Destash month!
Take some time to go through your stash and pack up any sewing related items that you no longer want or need to donate to the DMQG Destash night at the August meeting. All raised funds will benefit DMQG and be used for upcoming programs and activities.
WHAT TO DO:
Box or bag up your unwanted sewing related treasures, including fabric, notions, rulers, books, patterns, etc. Scraps can be in zip-lock bags.
HOW IT WORKS:
Volunteers will take your donations and sort by category.
You will purchase a canvas tote bag for $20 at the Merchandise table before the meeting or during the break.
During the break, you will be able to “window shop”. Shopping will start after the break.
Thursday, September 25th - Allie from Exhausted Octopus
Allie McCathren started quilting in 2018 and is the founder of Exhausted Octopus.
Allie is an artist with a background in marine biology. She lives in Houston, TX with her three sons. Her love of science and nature tends to find its way into her work, whether she intends it or not.
Allie works primarily with fabric and thread, but is also a painter, working with acrylics and watercolors. She uses fabric as if it were paint, working with color arrangement and texture to create her art quilts. Allie is a modern quilter who uses a lot of improv techniques in her work.
Guests are welcome; however, there is a $10 fee for non-members due to the expense associated with bringing in a national speaker. The fee will be waived if you join the guild at the meeting.
Allie will also be teaching her Inside Out Quilt Workshop, details here!
Thursday, October 23rd - TBA
Details coming soon!
