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.

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.
Several new items have been added to the website.
Due to early voting, our March UFO day has a venue change.
