Meeting this Thursday | May 15

Hi everyone!

It feels like ages since our last guild meeting, so come on down to Rock Paper Scissors at 7pm on May 15th and join us for the three F’s: fun, friends and of course, fabric

Here’s what we have planned:

  • An update on the Michael Miller MQG challenge
  • Information on elections in June
  • Upcoming events like Quilters Take Manhattan, Garden State Social, and the Warwick Quilt Show
  • A June swap based on the Pantone color of the year: Radiant Orchid
  • Everyone’s favorite: Show and Tell

We’ll also be taking a collection for the hospice in honor of our former VP, Peggy Kelleher to donate as a gift from the guild. Judy Veltidi will be collecting whatever donation you would like to give. She will be at the meeting and can answer any questions you might have but if you would like to reach her before Thursday, she can be contacted at motherfrog <at> hotmail <dot> com.

Bring a chair and your name tag, and we’ll see you on Thursday!

Guild quilt block challenge entries

Here they are, the blocks from our NJMQG guild quilt challenge!

We gave each member three fat eighths of colors from our guild logo– Kona Chartreuse, Caribbean, Bright Pink and Orange (not a subtle pallette!). They used those colors plus Kona White to make a block that reflects what modern quilting means to them. We collected an impressive 41 blocks.

We wanted to show our gratitude to our talented members, so we asked three judges from the world of quilting– creative guru (and local Jersey guy) Mark Lipinski, fabric designer Alison Glass and modern quilter/author Elizabeth Hartman– to pick their favorite blocks. The three winners will each get a $25 gift certificate to Rock Paper Scissors and we’re hoping to have some additional goodies to share as well.

Check them out! Click to enlarge and view as a slideshow. We’ve assigned numbers for judging purposes. We’ll be sure to give credit when judging is done.
