The Modern Quilt Guild has opened membership to guilds and individuals for the first time. The dues from members will help support and encourage the growth and development of modern quilting through art, education, and community. By formalizing, the Modern Quilt Guild will be able to offer members educational programs, tools to run local guilds, 501(c)3 status for guilds and much more.

The Modern Quilt Guild will offer the following member benefits: access to the new online social media community, informative webinars, early-bird registration for conferences and events, discounts and special offers with Modern Quilt Guild sponsors, participation in fabric challenges and swaps, discounted rates on conferences, events, merchandise, quilt entry fees, legal fees, insurance and more.

"Being a member of the Modern Quilt Guild has given me a wonderful way to connect with quilters near and far who share a love of modern quilting. The Modern Quilt Guild has helped me grow immensely as a quilter. I'm so excited to see what's ahead in the next phase of growth for the MQG!" says Melissa Lytle, President of the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild.

The Modern Quilt Guild is also launching an online community for members. The first online community built specifically for modern quilters, it will offer forums, photo and idea sharing, guild discussion boards, events and additional features to be developed over the next six months.

"I'm most excited about joining the Modern Quilt Guild for the community! The new website gives me a home where I can freely bounce around ideas with modern quilters all over the globe," says Rebecca Roach, Vice President of Communications of the Austin Modern Quilt Guild.
