The next meeting is the annual Holiday Buffet on December 20, 2016.  There will be two optional exchange activities that members can participate in:

• Mug Rug Exchange
• Everyone's a winner!  If you bring a mug rug, you will receive a mug rug from someone else

• Gift Exchange
• Bring a wrapped modern quilting-related gift with an approximate value of $20.  We will play the game of pulling numbers to choose a gift and having the option to "steal" from each other.

CAMQG Sampler Quilt Show will be this Tuesday, November 15, during our regular meeting.

August Review, September Update!!!

Here's What CAMQG Has Been Up To!

August meeting had a great turnout! Ladies are working on their Sampler Quilts and these quilts are looking great!!!!!  Amazing how everyone used such different colors and how a little change here and there to the pattern make the quilts so unique.   I can't wait for the showing  in November, and see all the finished quilts.

We had 12 ladies participate in a Mini Swap with the Pittsburgh MQG over the summer.  The finished quilts our group is sending out were all displayed and they look fabulous!  No pictures yet, some of the ladies in Pittsburgh may not have received theirs yet---don't want to ruin their surprise.  In September we will be showing the quilts received, and will have a picture of both then.  Something to look forward to.

We had some beautiful quilts displayed this month-------take a look at a sample------

March Madness... ...For Quilting

Our March meeting was very productive and "shear" enjoyment with guest speaker Narda.  Narda is a local quilter who visited our CAMQG.  Guild members were entertained and witnessed Narda's skills for design, color mix and match, and inspiration.

We are also onto Step 2 of our Stars and Strips modern quilt sampler.  If you need instructions or missed Step 1 instructions, please let us know and we will send you updates.

Quilt on ladies!  Looking forward to our April meeting.
