Welcome!

Welcome to the Pieces and Patches Quilt Guild from Jackson, Michigan.  We were formed in January, 1990 by a small group that had an interest in quilting.  Our members now vary in experience and style but share the desire to promote quilting and improve our quilting abilities.  Our guild provides the opportunity to meet other quilters and share ideas, talents, and knowledge regarding all aspects of quilting.  The membership in the guild provides quarterly newsletters, monthly guild meetings, access to the guild library, and the friendship and support of other enthusiastic quilters.

Meetings are generally held the last Monday of each month from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the First Church of the Nazarene, 3905 Clinton Road, Jackson, Michigan with Mini-Demonstrations and Social Hour from 6:00 to 7:00.  In addition to the business portion of the meeting, we sponsor a presentation or activity designed to help broaden our quilting experiences and knowledge.  Another important part of the meeting is "Show and Tell" where members share their current projects and discuss successes, as well as consult others for solutions to quilting problems.  Workshops, field trips, and retreats are occasionally planned for members as well.

  1. Mini quilt exhibit at the Marshall Michigan quilt show were stunning. Makes me want to start quilting small. What is the difference between Mini and SmallScale? I understand that mini are more difficult to sew than SmallScale. Are there certain rules for MINI ?
