We will provide you with your pen pal details by the start of the year for January and you will get a new pen pal for February. You will then mail the postcard at a designated date, given in early January. If you are interested in participating, please sign up by December 26th, 2025. Sign-up sheets will be at guild meetings, or you can reach us at: postcards@nlcqg.org

Santa Swap

This year will be swapping quilted tote bags. Smaller size would be 21 x 21 and every bag must have something quilted on it whether it’s the pockets, the handles or something special on the front of the bag. The bag does not have to be Christmas themed nor does it need to have a zipper. Pinterest has many ideas for wonderful looking tote bags. Start your project now so you’ll be ready for the Santa swap at our Christmas party!

Raffle Quilt News

Each member is asked to take 30 tickets to sell (6 for $5 or $1 each) to friends, family or just to purchase yourself to help support the guild. Remember this is our fund raiser since we voted several years ago not to do a quilt show. This is how we fund those wonderful programs we all enjoy.

Our Raffle Quilt Ticket Coordinator will have raffle tickets available for members to pick up at the meetings. There is also a sign-up sheet at the meeting for all the upcoming events which include a few craft shows and quilt guild visits. Please consider signing up where you may be able to help, especially if you are a member of that guild.
