Charity Mug Rug Holiday Project

At our July meeting, we introduced our project for nursing home residents this upcoming holiday season; 8” x 10” mug rugs. Are you considering making a few? Do you have a favorite 8” block pattern you are going to use? Do you need some inspiration? A couple of quilters shared with me they plan to use the paper piecing design from the workshop at our recent retreat. What a great idea! If you have questions, please stop by the charity table or email charity@nlcqg.org.

March Guild Rummage Sale – Book Sale Table

Our next in person meeting is March 1st and will be our Annual Rummage Sale (see upcoming events for details).  Along with the members’ sales tables, the guild will be having a book sale table.

How you can help:

  1. Clear out your craft books, (quilting, knitting, crocheting etc) and bring them to the March meeting to donate to the sale table.
  2. Invite your quilting friends to the meeting (no guest fee!) to enjoy shopping the book sale and members’ tables.
  3. Enjoy some new books for yourself (prices will be $3 for one, $5 for two, $10 for six) at bargain prices.

All proceeds from the book sale will go to the guild and any leftover books will be kept and brought to Rafflemania. Contact programs@nlcqg.org with any questions or to reserve your table.

Post Card Exchange

During our zoom meeting months of January and February, our guild will be sponsoring a quilted postcard exchange. It’s not complicated, sign up and you’ll receive an email at the end of December with your January partner. Send your partner a quilted postcard at any time during January and they’ll send you one in return! At the end of January, you’ll receive an email indicating your February partner and you’ll just repeat the process. Easy peasy!

Want to see the postcards exchanged by our guild members during 2020 and 2021?  Click here: postcard photos

Ready to sign up? Just send an email to: postcard@nlcqg.org. There will also be a sign-up sheet at our December meeting.

Program Changes for October & November

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the programs for our next two guild meetings will be flip-flopping.  Our Quilts of Valor presentation will now be held in November and our schoolhouse program will be this week.
Tables will be set up around the room and attendees will be able to rotate from demonstration to demonstration.  Schoolhouse has always been a highlight. Join us as we learn new techniques from our fellow members.
