Welcome Quilters
The Northern Lake County Quilters Guild (NLCQG) is an organization of enthusiastic quilters from northeast Illinois and southeast Wisconsin. We meet monthly at the Antioch, Illinois Township Center where we offer a variety of programs and socialization activities. In addition, we have classes presented by our members as well as nationally known teachers, activities such as swaps and UFO sewing days, and yearly challenges where we stretch our quilting skills. Whether you’re an experienced quilter or you’re new to the craft, we’d love to have you join us as we explore the art and education of quilting.

Do you EQ? The guild has formed an Electric Quilt group. Starting in January we’ll be creating challenges, exploring features and mostly just trying to use EQ8 a little each month.
January will bring us our first quilt design challenge. If you’re signed up, look for the challenge in your inbox along with an invitation to a zoom meeting to discuss the process. If you’re not signed up, we’d love to have you join us! Even if you don’t own EQ, it’s fascinating to see what it can do.
If you’re interested in being a Spark Plug, send an email to skillbuilders@nlcqg.org and we’ll work together to expand our EQ8 skills.
