MDI Island Quilters In-Person
From January 7th to 30th, visit the Southwest Harbor Public Library to view an exhibition of quilts by the MDI Island Quilters. The group was formed in 1992 and is a chapter of the Maine Pine Tree Quilt Guild. Members make baby and oncology quilts which are given to the MDI Hospital; whenever a baby is born at the hospital, the family is given one of the baby quilts.
For the past four years, the Quilters have been doing a monthly “block swap”. Each month a member sends instructions for a block and, once made, are returned to the individual so they can put them together and make a quilt.”
The group currently meets at St. John Episcopal Church in Southwest Harbor on the second Wednesday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and on the fourth Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to share works-in-progress, learn different techniques, work on challenge and pro-bono projects, and plan other events and activities. For more information about MDI Island Quilters or if you are interested in joining us, contact co-chairs Michele Daley (664-4237) or Tom Lee (244-0087).
