Hi everyone,
This is the last call to sign up for the Michael Miller fabric challenge. If you don’t sign up, you won’t get the fabric. All info and rules are here.
If you signed up on the previous post or at Thursday’s meeting you will get the fabric in March. It’s gonna be fun!
If you didn’t and would like to, leave a comment on this post or email njmqginfo(at)gmail.com
It’s gonna be fun!
One year from this weekend, the Modern Quilt Guild will descend upon Austin Texas for QUILTCON, a celebration of modern quilting. There will be a show, classes, demos and lectures including the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Check out quiltcon.com for details about the event, held February 19-22 2015.
Here’s the crazy part… hotels for Quiltcon 2013 sold out, and blocks are already sold out at the Radisson and Hilton. There are rooms at the Hampton Inn and the Marriott as of this posting. But if you’re even thinking of going, reserve a room so that you don’t miss out! Many hotels will allow for cancellations up to 24 hours in advance. But check with the individual hotel. Here is the lodging link for QUILTCON 2015.
We’ll keep posting updates as more events are revealed. As MQG members we are entitled to advance registration and discounts on certain offers.
Hope to see you there!
Our VP Peggy is taking a leave of absence from her role on the NJMQG executive board. According to our bylaws, the executive board may appoint an Acting VP to carry out the responsibilities necessary.
The board is seeking self-nomination of members interested in serving the guild as Acting VP. The main responsibility is creating and maintaining the guild’s calendar and lists of events and enforcing deadlines we may come upon (challenges, filing paperwork, etc.). The Acting VP will need to attend executive board meetings, usually held the week before a guild meeting, and may fill in for the President as necessary. He or she should be familiar with or open to learning online organizational and networking tools (Google docs, Facebook, WordPress).
Above all, we’re looking for someone who will help us pass along the guild spirit of inclusion, positivity, creativity and community.
If you might be interested (this sounds far more serious than it is– we have lots of fun!) please email your nomination to njmqginfo@gmail.com.
EDITED TO ADD: Thank you to the people who have stepped forward– the guild is considering our needs and the strengths of those who have volunteered, and we’ll update the guild as soon as we can.
