The McKinney Modern Quilt Guild (McKMQG) is a community of quilters in McKinney and the surrounding areas who strive to inspire and educate others on the art of modern quilting. Our members range from beginner to expert, so all are welcome regardless of your quilting experience.
We have monthly meetings where we learn and discuss ideas and techniques. We try to have member or guest speakers for our meetings whenever possible. The Show & Tell portion of our meetings is a favorite by all as we share our completed projects or works-in-progress. We will also occasionally meet for other events such as sew days. We love to serve our community and create quilts, stockings and tote bags for various organizations. One of our largest efforts is to provide quilts for children served by Collin County CASA.
We also have an active Facebook page which serves as another way of getting to know each other. We frequently post work-in-progress photos or seek advice from each other regarding fabric choices, products, and techniques.
The McKMQG is a branch of The Modern Quilt Guild, a 5013c organization with over 200 guilds in the United States and beyond. Our affiliation with this parent organization also gives us access to:
- national and international member communities for special interests
- swaps and challenges with groups outside of our guild
- resource library of patterns, tutorials, webinars and other educational materials
- QuiltCon perks - discounts, early registration, ability to submit quilts for entry
Starting in January of 2026, our meeting space will be the Carriage House at the Herd-Craig Center for the arts. The Meetings page has more information about this location.
We hope to see you at our next meeting as we always welcome visitors and new members! See details about membership on our Membership page.
