Right this very minute!
Our world has been turned upside down! That can actually work to our advantage! Making it easier to celebrate Christmas in July! We need a bit of silliness ... albeit from a distance!
Members Sarah and Terri had made plans for a huge Holiday event at the City Center ... but Covid-19 got in the way of those plans! They have put their heads together and come up with a plan!
Mark your calendars for July 25th and 26th! A virtual retreat has been planned! If possible dedicate some time each day to quilt! Here are some of the fun planned for that weekend!
Secret Santa Fun!
Spread some cheer! Give a gift! Participate in our Secret Santa event! You will be assigned a NWQG member! Gifts can be handmade or purchased ($20-$25). And should be delivered some time on the 25th!
Festive Fir Quilt-A-Long!
This fun filled quilt comes in three sizes and can be made with any style of fabric! Terri made this in June when she came across the pattern on Instagram!

She recorded the process here if you would like to see how easy it goes together!
The pattern was designed by and is available at Sew Brainy Designs!
To participate, you will need to purchase the pattern. Click this link to purchase the pattern!
The three sizes are an 18 inch square, a 31 x 33 inch wall hanging and a 63 x 67 inch lap sized quilt!
Yardage is somewhat minimal, and many of you can use fabric from your stash for the tree parts, or there is time to treat yourself and order some beautiful new Holiday fabrics! If you have the Instagram App, search #festivefirquilt to see many versions of the design!
Loose Ends!
This pandemic has loosened all types of ends! But we're referring to the quilting variety! You've earned a quilting break!
Zoom Meetings!

| How to dress for Guild Zoom meetings! 😂 |

Door Prizes!
Yes! Door prizes will be drawn at each Zoom meeting! Must be present to win!
