Volunteer Sign-up

The Douglas County Fair is right around the corner.  It’s time to volunteer!  Volunteers will receive a free admission to the fair.  These are the dates for volunteering:  Take-in Sunday, July 26  10-4; Judging Monday, July 27  9-4ish; Hanging Tuesday, July 28  9-?; Take-Down Sunday, August 2  4-5.
Before you volunteer, please read the detailed information on voluntering carefully as some of these duties require a lot of standing and/or walking on the concrete floor. Sign-up is done through Sign-up Genius.  You do not need to create an account.  Just select the day and job for which you are volunteering. In the event you need to cancel your vounteer spot or if you have questions, email Candy Garrido. Sign up here.

Enter a quilt in the fair!

The county fair is about 1 month away, but you still have time to make a quilt to enter! Read the competition rules for more information. There are TWO important changes implemented last year.  Quilts must have been made after July 2024 and only ONE entry per numbered category.
Every item entered into the Fair must be on the Entry Sheet. One Entry Sheet per person.  All items are on one sheet regardless of the department (e.g. floral, home arts, seniors, quilts). Print and bring it to the  Events Center on Take-in Day Sunday, July 26th from 10 to 4:00. Every exhibitor will receive a free entry into the Fairgrounds. Link to Entry Sheet

Get involved in the Douglas County Fair!

The Douglas County Fair is preparing for the 2026 fair and rodeo. Do you want to be more involved than a volunteer? We are looking for a couple of members to help with all aspects of the competition in an Assistant Superintendent capacity. If interested, contact Candy Garrido.

Next Level Workshops!

Mark your calendars! In June, Scott Flannagan will present his amazing pattern Tuscan Vintage. Heads up, club – Scott is a highly sought after presenter, and we are so fortunate to be bringing him to our club in Castle Rock. You do not want to miss this special workshop. Contact program chairperson Deb Autrey to sign up.

Block Lotto is back!

The next block lotto features sweet little houses and their companion trees, designed by Material Girl Quilts. What is block lotto, you ask? It is the fun activity of making specific blocks to introduce new techniques or improve our skills. These blocks are brought to a future meeting; and for each block made, you receive a ticket for a drawing. The lucky winners take home a bundle of blocks for their own projects. Instructions included in an online tutorial.  More information

Block Swap in June!

We will be announcing a friendly BLOCK SWAP of disappearing four-patch blocks (in lieu of block lotto) for our June meeting. Don’t worry – we will walk you through all of the steps of making the block. Although not mandatory, it sure would be fun if we had lots of participation! Everyone who participates will turn in a set number of blocks (TBD) and will receive back the same number – but from various people in the club. Assembly of the quilt is as simple as sewing rows together, but each will have a distinct look — and YOU will have a special memory quilt with love from CRQC members to either keep or share with someone special. More to come!
