All currently scheduled Mad City Quilt Guild events:

Dave Anderson

Postponed: the Photography Workshop scheduled for April 1, 2017. A scheduling conflict has come up so we’re trying to reschedule for a Saturday in the first half of May. Negotiations are still underway for a specific date/time. If we need to, we’ll look at dates in the fall, but I hope that isn’t necessary.

What we’re planning for this workshop is about an hour presentation of photography techniques & tools, followed by a couple hours of hands on participation taking pictures of your quilts yourself, with help improving the photographs. It will be a Bring Your Own Quilt & Camera workshop.

Program presented by Rose Mary Huber Pauls

Notions Commotion is a short demonstration on many different sewing and quilting notions, both new and old. Many of us have purchased tools over the years and either forgot what they were for, or need to know other uses for them. New tools are available to make our lives easier, so come and see how to save time and get the best results.

Program presented by Julie Karasek

Julie and her husband purchased Patched Works of Elm Grove, WI in 2006. Before owning Patched Works, Julie last worked for a small software operation. She has been sewing her entire life and learned to quilt in the mid-1990s. Together with a team of amazing Quiltie Ladies, Patched Works continues to grow with the quilting industry.


Julie attends the semi-annual Quilt Market and reports on the latest in fabric trends, the best of the new tools, books and patterns as well as the latest industry information. Every Market creates new tales to tell. Come see what samples and previews she has discovered!
