July 2019 - Feast and Forage
Back by popular demand! We had so much fun two years ago that we had to do it again!
Time for some spring cleaning. Purge your stash of anything you no longer love (channel your inner Marie Kondo - does it bring you joy?!) and bring it to swap with other MASG members. We know you've been drooling over the BEAUTIFUL items during show and tell... here's your chance to find the rest of that bolt! Fabric, notions, books, patterns... bring it all! Also, bring a dish to pass for our potluck. A summertime meeting needs a good picnic! Tuesday, July 9th, 2019
7 to 9pm in the Agrace Dining Room 5395 E Cheryl Pkwy, Fitchburg, WI |

Past Meetings
January 2019 - Annual Charity Sew
MASG members frequently donate their sewing skills on an individual basis, all year round. But every January, we pick a charity and come together for a sew-a-thon. This year, we will be making making tote bags and pot holders for DAIS. There are two sessions planned - one during the daytime, another in the evening. You and a guest are welcome to come to either session, no sign-up required. Stay for as much of the session(s) as you are able. We welcome sewists of all ambitions and abilities! There's always a job to be done!
February 2019 - Super Show and Tell
Super Show and Tell is an entire meeting dedicated to sharing our members' projects. Gather up all of those finished masterpieces - quilts, bags, garments, costumes, and everything in between. If you sewed it, you can show it!
We love to soak in the creativity and enjoy hearing the stories behind the fabric. Who is it for? What were the challenges? What did you learn to do differently next time? Does the fabric have a special significance? If you used a pattern, be sure to share the pattern name and number with us.
To enhance your Show and/or Tell, we are adding a digital option this year - send in a reference photo, the "before" to your shared "after", or a snap of the item in use. Maybe the item was already gifted to its intended recipient or is too cumbersome to haul in... it can still be shared!
So many ways to submit your pics:
- Send photos via email to webmaster@madisonasg.com,
- Share on Google photos with madisonasg2013@gmail.com,
Or, arrive early (30 mins please, if you can!) and bring those photos to the meeting:
- as old fashioned print-outs (overhead projector available)
- on a standard USB flash drive
- on an SD card, right out of your digital camera

March 2019 - The Wisconsin Button Society
Lisa Schulz from the Wisconsin State Button Society invites us to turn our attention towards this indispensable notion. So much history is steeped into these often overlooked staples of a garment. Do you have an interesting button that may have a story? Bring it a long for Lisa to view!
April 2019 - Char TerBeest of Helen's Daughters Studios
Char TerBeest, of Helen's Daughters Studio, brings amazing sculptural handbags. Who knew there's a little bit of "Alice in Wonderland" like style nearby in Baraboo!
