Modern Quilt Shows
Boston Modern Quilt Guild shows are an opportunity for the public to see the works of art created by BMQG members.
The Denim Project
On display now through February 28th 2025 at the Flint Memorial Library in North Reading
Did you know that 80% of all textiles end up in
landfills? Denim alone accounts for more than 200
million tons of waste a year. In an effort to
highlight this issue and to promote sustainability
within the art of quilting, our guild challenged itself
to make quilts using only upcycled materials with denim as a focus. Artists could choose any size or subject matter, but no new materials were to be used. This project was very rewarding and the quilts produced are beautiful works of art.
