Program

                             


Jessica Plunkett is a quilter, pattern designer, teacher, lecturer and fabric collector from Des Moines, Iowa,

Jessica’s work is influenced by her life experiences. In her collection of work, you’ll find quilts inspired by an orienteering compass, a kaleidoscope and spiders, mountains, an excavator, her desire to find balance, as well as a tribute to her late great-grandmother where she ponders what happens to our memories of a beloved one after they pass.

Jessica is drawn to solid color fabrics and has a particular fondness for black and pink quilts. She shares her work on Instagram @maeberrysquare, on her website maeberrysquare.com.

Jessica’s work has been featured with the Modern Quilt Guild, including blocks of the month and quilt patterns, within the pages of Curated Quilts and Make Modern magazines, as well as on display in a curated exhibit at the Iowa Quilt Museum. Her quilts have been juried into and displayed at QuiltCon, an international quilt show featuring modern quilts. She has earned recognition at state and national competitions, including the Iowa State Fair. She was a Top 10 Finalist for a creative scholarship from Craftsy in 2018.

Show and Tell

We love to see your recent finished projects. We can all learn when you share tips you learned when making it.  Also helpful if you can share the name of the pattern with the group. Please bring one or two of them to share.  

Community Giving Quilts

We appreciate your generosity with your lovely, talented donation quilts.  Bring your donation quilts to the meeting for distribution to our community partners.  Your efforts are appreciated and don't go unnoticed.

Love Your Guild Challenge

Challenge for first quarter is to create a table runner/topper to be used to support the guild. The Iowa Quilt Museum wants more of our beautiful creations to sell in their gift shop.  The Musuem profits from these sales and so does the guild. Get your creativity on!!! 

2024 Membership Dues

Membership $30 yearly.   We have lots of great programs planned for the coming year.  Plus it is a great place to collaborate with other talented quilters and socialize with your friends. You can renew your membership at the meeting or send to
