2024 Community Quilt Raffle!

This hand made, one-of-a kind quilt -- 2024 Community Quilt Raffle!

This hand made, one-of-a kind quilt -- designed by our own Megan Haidet! -- was made as part of the 2024 QuiltCon Community Quilt challenge. Each year the national MQG challenges local chapters to create a “community” quilt together: a quilt inspired by a set theme and color palette, but communally designed and completed by local quilters. DCMQG sent our "Reflections" quilt to the national modern quilt show at QuiltCon Raleigh in February 2024. We are raffling this quilt to raise money for recent hurricane recovery efforts. Please send the link to any interested friends and family! Questions? Reach out  to dcmqgtreasurer@gmail.com.
 

Bid on this awesome quilt! $750 raised so far!

Linda Fasules did an amazing job sewing the quilt top together that 30 members created. Cindy Luby will do the quilting next few weeks and then Alyson Olander will do the binding and labeling. Thank you Diana Owen for organizing the creation of this beautiful quilt and to everyone that contributed. 

We have leftover blocks that could be used to make a baby quilt or two. We'd love for volunteers to make a charity quilts. We'll have the leftovers available at the December meeting.

Do you have orphan blocks? Don't we all?

Do you have orphan blocks laying around with no purpose? If you do, bring them tothenext meeting and we will put them to good use while creating charity quilts! If you prefer to mail them, send an email to dcmqgcharity@gmail.com for address.

When we collect enough we can have a fun DCMQG sewing afternoon designing and sewing the quilts.
