Welcome Quilters!
The Castle Rock Quilt Club meets the first Tuesday of each month from 6 to 8pm at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock, Colorado. Quilters of all levels (and even those of you who simply enjoy quilts) are invited to attend. Each quilt club meeting includes an exciting program, a short business presentation and an inspiring member show and tell.
If you’ve been telling yourself you’re going to “get into” something like this “someday” — today is the day! Please visit us, bring a friend or two and have some fun. Guests are always welcome. (If a paid speaker is presenting, a small guest fee of $5 is charged.) Our members hail from not only Castle Rock, but also Larkspur, Monument, Parker, Elizabeth, Franktown, Sedalia, Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Aurora. Come join us!
Membership costs $30 per year, from August through July. This allows you to participate in various activities including our retreats, social gatherings, charity sews and monthly meetings (in person and, occasionally, by zoom). New members receive our exclusive monthly minutes/newsletter, a name tag, an information folder and lots of encouragement and welcoming smiles.

What’s New
Names of colors and fabric types rang out across the room in April as we played Fabric Bingo. What a blast! Members sewed their own cards and kept track with buttons. In the end, ten lucky winners took home prize baskets, and many more won sewing-themed door prizes or button bouquets. The best part of the evening was welcoming guests from Wellspring Community: director Nicole DeVries and program attendees Delaney, Damon, Amy, Lindsey and Kiersten (who got the first Bingo of the night!). Our collective 160 fabric cards will be used to make quilts for Wellspring members moving into their first independent apartments in 2024!
Who doesn’t love a good log cabin?! Want to take it a step further and make it modern? Come to our June 8th workshop taught by Kate Colleran. You’ll learn how to put together mod log cabin blocks and then discover the different finishes you can create by rotating them! Cost is $35 and registration deadline is May 1st. Learn more…
Our March workshop with Diane Harris (aka The Stash Bandit) was pure delight! Diane not only gave us lessons in contrast, color and cohesion, she also reminded us to have FUN with our scraps — AND brought scraps from her own stash to share! Check out the photos of our amazing workshop.
How can you turn ONE yard of fabric into an I Spy quilt with MANY different items to discover? You create an I Spy swap! We’ve extended the the I Spy Swap deadline one month. Our goal is to make 50 bags and we are half way there! Here’s how it works: From one yard of novelty print fabric (see guidelines), cut 50 five-inch blocks. Turn them in to Marilyn Fettinger by our May meeting, and in June you’ll get 50 blocks back for your own unique I Spy quilt. Details are available on our I Spy Block Exchange page.
