‘Tis the season for our second annual NJMQG swap! It’s one of our favorite meetings of the year, when we get together to share some cheer and a gift with a swap partner. Names were swapped in October, and we hope you’ll bring something special for your special someone. Please also bring a chair and if you are so inclined, a little something to eat or drink.

We’ll start with some short announcements and dates at 7PM on Thursday, December 18 at Rock Paper Scissors. Then we’ll launch right into the swap, which will happen simultaneously with show and tell. If you’ve made quilts for the holidays, we want to see them!

We will also be collecting dues for 2015– membership renewal is $50. We’ll have another post about that this week with online payment options if you prefer that method.

See you Thursday!

O-PEN IT! O-PEN IT! O-PEN IT!

This months meeting was our quaterly open sew. For all that weren’t able to attend, you were missed. What a wonderful fun time getting to know everyone and watch them working.  We also began work on laying out our Guild Quilt at our open sew on Saturday.

Just to follow up on the announcements that were made;

Please if you haven’t already signed up for the Holiday Swap over on Elfster go ahead and do so.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, November 20th at 7:00 pm over at Rock Paper Scissors. Please remember to bring your name tags and a chair. Also look for an upcoming blog post on how to download the Instagram App onto your phones and set up your username. During our meeting we will be having  a Instagram 101.

No November Swap. Swaps will be returning 2015.

December Meeting will be our Holiday Swap

January will be our quarterly Open Sew

We have decided not to participate in this years Quilt Con Charity Quilt. With the deadline for the quilt being Jan 3rd we just felt we would not have enough time to prepare a quilt.

Thank you for all the work on the charity quilts. They are all beautiful and will be very much appreciated by their recipients.

Also, a HUGE thank you to the LDS church for allowing us to use their gymnasium.

Members should have received an invitation to join the Elfster holiday swap via email. Sign ups will close on Tuesday, October 21.

If you are a member and you didn’t get an invitation (there were some technical glitches with a few addresses), send an email to njmqginfo at gmail.com.

Thank you!
