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
On November 12th, the Castle Rock Quilt Club Charity Quilt Committee donated 18 children’s quilts and 8 receiving blankets to Liz, Tamara and Carrie of the Help and Hope Center for their Families Holiday Shop. The Help and Hope Center supports Douglas and Elbert County residents navigate troublesome times with dignity.Our in-person meeting was cancelled in January due to more snowy weather, so you will have to wait until February for our wearable fashion show. In February, bring your wearable from our August “Snip, Rip, Drop and Pass” activity. Club members will present a unique “fashion” show and tell of all the wearables we made with the Kona solids.
Come and join us for a new and fun activity! Get to know the members of our quilt club while you learn how to make this beautiful quilt. Pattern by Doug Leko. Our meetings are on the 2nd Tuesdays of each month at the Castle Rock Library. Learn more here…
In 2025, you will be able to learn (or brush up on) more skills via Block Lotto. Every other month or so, we will pick a block, pick a color palette, and provide print and video instructions. Join the fun! In March, join the fun with our Bird Block Lotto. Learn more …
The charity committee has collected 21 Bingo quilts for Wellspring and 17 quilts
for the Help & Hope Center. What a huge success for both of these projects! And we will continue to collect donations for next year as well. So keep up the good work!
We need several club members to volunteer to participate in this important committee. Please contact our president if you are interested.
Just before Christmas, representatives from our quilt club sent up cheers along with Wellspring staff and STARS at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Unity on Park. This hotel renovation project has become beautiful new independent living apartments for adults with I/DD. Thanks to the collaborative work of CRQC’s members, the residents will receive quilts made from our Bingo activity last April as they moving in to their first apartments! Already several Wellspring STARS have chosen their favorites; more to come. See more photos and learn more about Wellspring and our Wellspring Quilt Project…
