Spring is here and I saw my first Robin of the year! So I took it as a sign to plan another Round Robin Event! It is an opportunity for everyone. Whether you had so much fun, you want to return, or were unable to participate last year or you are new to the guild. There is no fee for this event! You can sign up by contacting Cathy or Jeri

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.
