Our Wellspring Quilt Project is featured in the winter 2025 issue of Quilter’s World along with the charity work of other clubs around the country. The name of the article is “The Gift of Giving” and begins on page 88. Here is a photo of the front of the magazine to use. You can find copies at retail outlets or online at:

Santa is sending his best BBQ for us to enjoy at the December holiday party (and Kathy is bringing her fudge!), so don’t miss it! If you haven’t paid to attend, immediately email our president Sue Vaughn, and mail your check (made out to CRQC) for $35 to our treasurer, Beth Farrar. Your payment must be received by November 8.

Here’s something new that will knock your socks off! For our holiday party next month, members voted to exchange pairs of warm and cozy socks. The catch is, you get to stuff the stockings! First, put the second sock into the toe of the first sock, and then fill it with any quilting-related item you desire. Think notions, charms, a fat quarter, or any small gift or treat. Participation in the exchange is optional, so join in the fun if you wish.
Five members were the lucky winners of sets of 20 snow globe blocks for November’s block lotto! That completes a full year of block lotto! The goal of this fun activity was to introduce new techniques or improve our skills, and we’ve certainly had fun doing that. Next year, block lotto will be interspersed with new swaps and challenges to keep things fresh and fun for our club. Stay tuned!
Join us for a fun sewing day at Sew-Ciety! Contact Kathy Snow to sign up. Learn more…

Our next Sew-In is June 28! The sew-ins are an opportunity to spend a pleasant day at the home of a CRQC member, just sewing (ahhhh). You need to sign up to attend a sew-in, so the hostess will know how many people are attending. In March, we had three locations with 4-6 people at each location. Currently we need one more volunteer to host – maybe you? Be prepared to sign up for the sew-in at our meeting this month.
We have a fun patriotic make-n-take for our July ice cream “sewcial” at the park, but we need your help for it to be successful! Please bring with you, to our meeting next week, scraps (or better yet a whole spool) of any width red or white/ivory ribbon, red or white/ivory trim, white or ivory lace, even red or white/ivory thin strips of fabric! We will cut lengths from this to suit our project. The more we have, the bigger our project! Can. Not. Wait.
