Recap: Our First Meetup

This recap of our first meeting is a bit longer than most will be.  We passed along quite a bit of general guild information and want to make sure that those who couldn't attend understand how the guild is structured.  Can you believe it?!  Our first meetup had 22 people in attendance! It all kicked off at Dooley's Waterside at 7pm with a bit of chitchat and getting to know each other.  Food was eaten, beers went down easily and the coffee was given high marks. The board room made for a great private space to kickstart The Greater Western Sydney Modern Quilt Guild. Sheridan kicked off the meeting off by introducing the organizing committee and explained the roles each committee member is tackling. As of yet, we haven't given ourselves official titles or launched into elections.  Once we understand the needs of the guild, we'll revisit positions more formally. Sheridan of Chaletgirl is looking after most of the administrative tasks. She'll be managing...

Welcome to the Sydney Modern Quilt Guild!

Sydney is a big city! Don't we all know that! Did you know that the Sydney urban area actually covers almost 1800 square kilometres? And the population is about 4.5 million people? With that in mind, and with the existing Sydney Modern Quilt Guild concentrating their efforts in the north of the city, Amy and I have been working behind the scenes to set up another Modern Quilt Guild in Sydney. We present to you the Sydney Modern Quilt Guild! and north-western suburbs of Sydney, but anyone interested in modern quilting is very welcome to attend! You might have some questions about what is modern quilting? I cannot answer it any better than the Modern Quilt Guild has already done here! Please go and have a read if you have any queries.  We've got some fantastic ideas about how to make the Sydney Modern Quilt Guild a really fun organisation, and I hope you'd like to be a part of it. Our plan is to have...
