Welcome Quilters
The Northern Lake County Quilters Guild (NLCQG) is an organization of enthusiastic quilters from northeast Illinois and southeast Wisconsin. We meet the first Wednesday of the month at the Antioch Township Center, 1275 Main Street, Antioch, Illinois 60002. For more information, click here.
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.

Our July meeting will offer the opportunity to show off your mystery quilt! Whether a flimsy or a finished quilt, please bring your version to share with the guild. As always, feel free to email mystery@nlcqg.org with any questions.
Remember to bring your starter block to our June meeting for the kickoff. (More details are available in the June Newsletter.) There is no fee to participate in the event – just a chance to have fun being creative. Anyone who is interested in participating or have any questions, please contact Cathy or Jeri.
Do you EQ? The guild has formed an Electric Quilt group. The spark plugs meet via zoom the last Wednesday of the month at 7:30 pm. Even if you don’t own EQ, we’d love to have you join us for future meetings. The depth of Electric Quilt is truly remarkable. Refer to the current NLCQG newsletter for more information.
If you’re interested in being a Spark Plug, send an email to skillbuilders@nlcqg.org.
Only seven more months till 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!
