Charity Quilts!!!!

We are so happy to say that we have donated 27 quilts to charity! YAY! let’s keep that momentum going! The most recent donations were to The Interfaith Hospitality Network in Montclair.
We will be having a charity table at each meeting. This table consists of kits put together by Kelly, Krishma,and Tracy with quilt tops, quilts that need to be basted, quilts that need to be quilted, etc. Basically-“quilts in the making, or take and makes” that need a little time and TLC so we can spread the love and a gift to someone in need!

Paper Bag Swap!

Here are the guidelines 😉 Please bring these filled with your favorites for the February meeting!

And now for our Trunk Show and Show & Tell:

Special Guest: Cliff Peterson was here! He contacted the NJMQG after his wife Myra had sadly passed away. Myra started a quilt but never did get a chance to finish it so Amy took the pieces she had done and finished the quilt top. Krishma long armed, bound, and made a bag for the quilt out of the remaining pieces. It was a beautiful tribute to Myra.
