The new NJMQG board would like to thank you all for electing us to our new positions. We are excited to make this an amazing year for our beloved guild!

Charity support: The Charleston Modern Quilt Guild is collecting signature blocks to be assembled into a quilt for the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC. To contribute, please sign a 3.5” tall by 6.5” wide (to finish at 3” x 6”) fabric block with your name and location and bring it to the July NJMQG meeting. We will collect the blocks and take care of mailing them out. Here is the link for more details: http://charlestonmodernquiltguild.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-charleston-modern-quilt-guild-is.html
