Mini Groups
What a wonderful display the mini groups put out at Quilt Fiesta 2024! It is so wonderful to see what each group does.
In addition to large group activities, the guild sponsors several mini groups that meet regularly. The listing below includes the current mini groups, their location and meeting schedule, and who to contact if you are interested in the mini group. Dates and locations can change so it is important to check with the member contact before attending a mini group. You must be a NNMQG member to participate.
Stitch-Ins are available to all members

While NRCC was occupied with voting prep, our group met at the Southside Library. We will return to NRCC for our November meeting. Our members have been asked to look through their fabric stash, books, gadgets, etc., for items they no longer need and to bring them to the next meeting for a group giveaway. Whatever is left over will be taken to the Resource Center. One member has five large boxes of fabric samples from an interior designer for the giveaway!
