| Vice President of Programming: KC Shortes first joined Austin MQG when her son was just a baby, now he is 12 years old and has a 10 year old sister. A lifelong sewist of costumes, clothing, and random projects, finding the AMQG community gave her a creative and social outlet and she entered the world of quilting. She loves the skillbuilding, inspiration, encouragement, and most of all the friendships from AMQG. KC loves collaboration and joined the board to bring fun activities, lessons, and sew-lebrities to the meetings, and most importantly, to make the AMQG special for everyone, and foster the inclusive, supportive, and inspiring community that has given us so many friendships, and fueled the creative needs in us all. Vice President of Events:
Vice President of Community Service: Kelly Casey comes from a family of quilters. Her mother and aunts learned to quilt from both her grandmother and grandfather. Kelly's quilting journey started about eight years ago. She make quilts for friends and family members, and also makes quilts to provide comfort to people she will never meet through service quilts. Kelly tries to reduce her carbon footprint by using thrifted fabric, trim, and scraps, though she does love a splurge at a local quilt shop. Kelly feels like she has found her tribe in the Modern Quilt Guild. She enjoy the social aspect of the guild and the constant inspiration and learning. As the VP of Community Service Kelly enjoys giving back to the guild but also to move it forward. She would like to see the guild become more interactive with the community, and would like to invite fiber artists from different backgrounds to join by encouraging a fun and safe environment for all skill levels. |
