Calling all book-loving quilters!
Hey PMQG members! We need your book recommendations for a special display at the Central Library in Portland. The librarian has asked for our input, and selected books will be featured during the Stitched Resistance and Unbound Voices quilt show at the Collins Gallery from May 30 – July.
The books don’t have to be strictly about quilting or sewing—think broader themes of craft, women’s work, history, resistance, and creativity. Let’s help curate a collection that speaks to the spirit of the show! #PMQG #StitchedResistance #QuiltersWhoRead

RAINBOW CHALLENGE FABRIC SIGN UP
🌈 The Rainbow Challenge is BACK for another colorful year! 🌈
We’ve been invited to Powell’s once again to showcase our stunning rainbow creations, and this year, we’re extra excited to feature fabric from our very own Chris Marchini! 🎉
✨ Sign-ups are still open, and there’s fabric still available, but it’s going fast! ✨
We have room for plenty of 20" x 20" mini quilts and around 5 throw-size quilts. All quilts are due by the end of May and will be on display in June at Powell’s.
📍 Drop-off sites will be listed in the members-only section as they’re finalized.
We hope you’ll join us in showing off your amazing rainbow quilts! 🌈 The employees at Powell’s and visitors alike LOVE to see these colorful creations, and we can’t wait to see what you make!
