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.

Chime in in the comments with your own favorites!

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!

Reminder about NJMQG dues for 2014

Hi Everyone,
Just a post to let you know about dues procedure. We have received some well-timed trinkets from the MQG–pins!

We’re holding them ransom (haha, kidding, sort of) for people who pay dues and complete a membership application form. These forms give us full contact information and a little legal information about show and tell at meetings.

If you have already paid your dues, please download the application form, sign it, and bring it with you to the meeting. (I will also have some hard copies there, but this is a real time saver.) You will get a pin!

If you have not paid your dues yet, you can do it in one of three ways.

1 – Bring your $45 in cash or check (made out to North Jersey Modern Quilt Guild) to our December 19 meeting.

2 – Mail a check  for $45 (made out to North Jersey Modern Quilt Guild) to Jessica before January 1. Email njmqginfo(at)gmail.com for the address.

3 – Pay online using PayPal. There is a covenience charge of $1.61, but we accept any credit card, fast and easy.

Once you have paid your dues and handed in your application form, you get a pin.

Everyone that is in good standing as of January 1 will also get a NJMQG/MQG membership card early in 2014. Membership cards will be used for events and discounts, including the 10% discount at Rock Paper Scissors that all members already enjoy. Until then, your pin will be your membership card.

Happy quilting, and see you next week! We’ll have some more updates about the meeting shortly.
