2019 Challenge Quilts Coordinator

We are looking for someone to volunteer to coordinate next year’s Challenge.  If you have an idea for the Challenge, that’s great, if not the Board may be able to help you with ideas.  We have guidelines and procedures to guide you through the process.  It’s a great way to get involved with the Guild that doesn’t take a tremendous amount of time.  If you are interested, please contact Susan Fasnacht, president@northernstarquilters.com

Lecture/Workshops

Lecture – Julie Neu – Finding my Voice – My Quilting Journey
In this trunk show you will hear about Julie’s twenty year quilting journey from paper templates cut with a scissors to creating original designs and working as a quilt artist.  Learn about what it took for her to find her voice and see the quilts that have come from that journey.

Workshops:
Still openings in Julie Neu’s workshop – Creative Play – March 21 – open to non-members
Check out upcoming workshops here!  Maria Shell’s are now open to non-members.

2020 Raffle Quilt Coordinator Needed

We are currently looking for a Raffle Quilt Coordinator to oversee the raffle quilt for the May 2020 Quilt Show.  Past experience has shown the following general schedule to work well:
– getting the design approved by the Board by the end of this year’s guild season, June 2018
– setting up for construction over the 2018 summer months
– overseeing the piecing, quilting, and binding thru the 2018-2019 guild season and summer
– getting the quilt photographed over  summer of 2019
– presenting the finished quilt to the membership at the September 2020 guild meeting.
If you or a group of friends are interested in overseeing the construction of this raffle quilt, contact althea nolan, charitable@northernstarquilters.com for details.
