NLCQG November Meeting Location Change

The Antioch Township Center will be accommodating voting in November and we are unable to have our meeting there.  Instead, we will be meeting at the:
Antioch Senior Center
817 Holbek Dr.
Antioch, IL 60002
The meeting date and times stay the same: November 2nd
7:00 – 9:00 (doors open at 6:00)

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.

Northern Lake County Quilters Guild – 2022 Fundraiser

 

This year, for our opportunity quilt, we are offering “Nature’s Splendor!” a beautiful quilt made by our talented members. Nature’s Splendor! is 79” square and an original pattern designed and pieced by our members.  The design encompasses two popular blocks, the nine patch and the square-in-a-square, with green, purple and gold fabrics showcasing the beauty of nature’s flowers, vines and leaves.  It has been beautifully quilted by one of our members on her long arm machine.
