COQG was the dream of Betty Jo Haines, founder and first president. Our first
meeting was held in April 1980, with 30 present.
Guild meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month, 10 am and 7 pm (except November
and December, which meet on the third Thursday). May and December are joint meetings and
begin at 6 pm.
Membership is open to all who have an interest in quilts and we would love to
have you join us!
Meetings are held at:
St. John's Methodist Church
1755 N. Meridian Ave.

Valuable Tips for Quilt Storage
from
Martha Spark
(Textile care and preservation expert)
Swim Noodles
are safe to use
to roll our quilts
that are
no wider than the
48" noodle length.
~
Clear plastic containers
are safe for fabrics storage IF
the letters PP and/or PE appear on the bottom next to the triangle.
~
It is not recommended to use
Space-Saver type plastic bags
for long term quilt storage as the compression of the fibers will cause strain
and breakage over time.
A better option is to
wrap quilts in clean, white cotton
sheets as textiles need to
breath.
President's Challenge 2012-13 - Kay Zwart
Underachievers -
“Postcards
from the Edge”
This year we will be combining the President’s quilt block with the President
Challenge for the year.
Please create a quilted postcard size 4x6.
I would like you to write a message to me and, of course, sign it. Any technique can be used and any
items can be sewn on.
I will be sewing them together using a faggoting technique after they are
displayed during our May meeting for judging and, of course, during our June
quilt show.
Quilt Postcard requirements:
4x6 (finished size)
Write me a note on the back
