“The Stories Behind the Quilts”
Joe Cunningham has been a professional quilt artist since 1979. He has written essays on the subject for museum catalogues, books and magazines. His book, Men and the Art of Quiltmaking, was the first book on its subject. Joe has now written 10 books on quilting and he travels throughout the country to give lectures and workshops.
He has been seen on the Peabody Award-winning PBS series Craft in America, the HGTV series "Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson," as well as "The Quilt Show" with Ricky Tims, Alex Anderson, and others. Joe began making quilts in his hometown of Flint, Michigan. He eventually moved to San Francisco where he maintains a gallery/studio to make and show his quilts. He lives with his wife, Carol LeMaitre, above her Pilates studio.

About Us
The purposes of the MPQG are to preserve the heritage of the beauty, diligence and love embodied in those quilts that have been handed down to us; to acknowledge and encourage a concern for the excellence of design and craftsmanship as we perpetuate this American Folk Art; to become a source of information, education, and inspiration; to further the personal rewards of companionship among quilters sharing a common interest.
