The January CS mini-retreat was sold out and the results are amazing!  Everyone said it was great fun - and here's the proof!

What a great time at the Holiday Party this year!  Thanks to the committee for coming up with such great ideas.  The hats were fabulous!

The Fun with Fiber group will be meeting in the Oakwood Paint Room on Friday -  Dec. 12th from 1 to3:30.  All are welcome!

There will not be a Board of Directors meeting in December.  Enjoy the holidays!

Plans are progressing for our FUN Seasonal Celebration  at The Saguaro Room in Cottonwood (opposite the restaurant).

       JOIN THE FUN AND PARTICIPATE IN THESE CHALLENGES

Plans are made to have a 'FESTIVE HAT' contest (rather than an ugly sweater - but you're welcome to wear one).  We would like members to find a unique hat or add their own creations to a hat they already have  (decorate it with fabric scraps or embellishments) or make your own hat.  We will be voting on the most creative hat and awarding prizes.

We would like everyone to bring an exchange gift ($15.00 value.) that is wrapped special - perhaps with fabric or in a unique box or wrapped in a creative way (idea = made to look like a Gingerbread House).

All members are invited so please sign-up and pay for your lunch here,  Lunch costs $22.00 which includes a dessert and also tax and tip!

Sign up here!  Holiday Luncheon

The October meeting ended our President's Challenge for this year.  Congratulations to our winners!

President's Challenge - Quilt of Valor

You are invited to join the Community Service Team for an open sew day, Wednesday Oct 1st . We will be working on pre-cut quilt kits. These quilts once finished will go to “Arizona Quilts for Kids”.

We will meet at the Oakwood Sewing Room starting at 9am and ending no later than 2pm. Bring a lunch, your sewing machine, a neutral-colored thread and your normal sewing notions.

Please register for this so we know how many kits to prepare.

The AQG Quilt Show Committee is looking for one or two people to join the Quilt Entry Team.   Kimm Muray wrote “I am looking for someone (or two someones) to take over (a) coordinating the Drop-Off list for 2026 and (b) help run the Returns Event on Saturday of the quilt show.

The Drop-Off work is concentrated in January/February of 2026, and the Returns work is primarily during quilt show week.” 

You may know Diana Jones, Blanca Sanchez, Denise Fanrworth and I have been working the show during the quilt intake and judging period.  I have enjoyed the job and people involved and feel very good about offering my time giving back to AQG.  

If you and a friend are interested in helping out, let me know and I’ll put you in touch or you can reach Kimm Muray, Quilt Show Entry Coordinator, directly.  Her contact information is on the AQG website.
