Our 
Story

Mudsock Quilters Guild (MQG) is a not-for-profit organization designed to bring people together with a love of quilting.  We encourage camaraderie, learning from one another, and educational opportunities led by quilting experts. We also promote philanthropy by participating in various charity quilt programs.

​

The first official meeting of the Mudsock Quilters Guild was held on September 12, 2011. Eight ladies formed the “start-up” committee: Rosie A, Donna C, Annie G, Barb L, C Mariott, Elizabeth M, Cindy R, and Liz R.  The very first speaker was Marlene Rock, owner of Needle & Thread quilt shop in Valparaiso, Indiana. Today we host speakers from all over the United States through in house visits and Zoom. We have workshops, Sew Bees, and do retreats and bus trips around the Midwest. 

​

We currently have over 270 members on the roll which is quite astounding! 

The Story Behind Our Logo

On our first anniversary, in September 2012 our first guild president, asked for guild members  to work on a Mudsock Quilt Guild (MQG) logo.  There were three designs from which to choose.  We voted on our guild logo in January 2013. The pattern selected was Cross Roads by Nancy Cabot. The logo was first used on our May 2013 newsletter.

 

Three colors were chosen for the block:

  • Rust – for “Mudsock,” the original name of this area now known as Fishers.  It referred to the sticky brown mud found in all the fields.  It was rumored that “The mud was so sticky it could pull the socks, right off your feet!

  • Green – for Continuity and Renewal of quilting

  • Gold –  for the Value of Friendship among Quilters

​

Mudsock Logo Pins are available for purchase at the meetings for $5.00 each.
