Meet the VP

A big NJMQG welcome to Stella Singleton, who has officially joined the board as Acting VP. She’ll be posting here and helping coordinate meetings and events. She’s been a member of the Phoenix MQG and Philly MQG and we’re excited to have her enthusiasm and experience.

A little about her:
Stella spends most of her day working from home which allows her to sew during her lunch-hour when not meeting with clients, of course. In her “spare time” she bakes a mean cupcake, plots adventures in her MINI Cooper, and blogs over at StellaSingleton.com

We’ve updated our About page to include photos and information about all the officers.

Keep an eye out for more exciting announcements!

February Meeting Recap

There was a bright spot in all of the snow we’ve been getting here in NJ: our February meeting.  It was so wonderful to see everyone, catch up, and of course share quilts.  Before we get to the good stuff, the photos, here’s a run down of the meeting.

March Madness

Get ready for a fun filled day of quilting on March 29 from 9-5 at the Church of Latter Day Saints in West Caldwell, where we’ll compete to create the most charity quilts.  If you are interested in being a Coach for either of the teams, please reach out to leadership over email ASAP!  More details will be coming as soon as we have coaches set, and we’ll break into teams at our March meeting for planning.  Of course, even if you can’t stay all day we’d still love for you to join us for however long you can!

Lisa Snipes – Garden State Quilters

Lisa will be presenting and visiting with the Garden State Quilters March 10 – 11.

Quilting Retreat

The Quilting Retreat is right around the corner, and hopefully Spring Weather will arrive either before or at the same time!  An email should be forthcoming from Aleeda with directions and information for those of you who are attending.  Great news: the arrival time was also bumped up to 3:00 pm on Friday!
