Signup for the 2023 Quilt Challenge is still open!
All participants will get a Fat Quarter of the same fabric. The challenge is to use some of it, some way in the quilt. You can use a sliver or the entire fat quarter, as long as it is recognizable. Quilts can be up to 144″ around the perimeter. …
For those signed for the advent exchange the due date is looming! All items need to be turned in by our October guild meeting but it’s not too late to sign up. Participants make 12 small items and purchase 12 small items to swap. These items are turned in and then swapped out and wrapped by the coordinator. Boxes with the 24 swapped out items are returned to participants at our November meeting to be opened starting December 1st. Sign up at any guild or UFO event or by contacting: advent@nlcqg.org.

It’s time to vote!
At our September meeting we’ll be casting our ballots for Vice President, Membership and Program chairs. The positions of Vice President remains without a candidate.
The responsibilities of the Vice President are:
1. Back up board members when they are not able to attend guild meetings.
2. Coordinate guild inventory and checkouts.
This is a great way to ease into helping this organization continue it promote the art and education of quilting along with being a welcoming, encouraging group for its members.
If you are interested please contact president@nlcqg.org
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.
