Meeting Information
Membership is $20.00 per year and open to anyone with an interest in quilting; no quilting experience is necessary.
CSQG meets at the Senior Center, located at 1514 North Hancock on the second Thursday night of the month, unless postponed by weather (School District 11 delays/closures).
Registration begins at 6:00 pm and the general business meeting starts at 6:30 pm. Guests are asked to pay $5.00 per meeting. Old and new business is discussed followed by a program.
Many of our programs feature nationally recognized quilt teachers and speakers; a $5.00 guest fee is required for all meetings. We also include other general activities such as a monthly raffle, door prizes, secret pals, show-n-tell, put-n-take, yearly auction, and much more.
Charitable contributions of hand made quilts made by members are donated to Safe Passage on a monthly basis.
The CSQG board meets monthly on the first Thursday at 6:00. Meetings are held at Ruth's Stitchery 4440 Austin Bluffs Parkway, Colorado Springs. All members are welcome to attend.
Standing Committees
We have a wide range of on-going programs. Each year, volunteers become committee chairs for these programs, and that's part of what keeps the guild interesting and dynamic.
Block-of-the-Quarter Wendy Riggs
A pattern is handed out for the Block-of-the-Quarter. Make as many blocks as suits you and bring them to the following meeting. For as many blocks as you make, your name will go into a hat to be drawn to win all the blocks at the end of each quarter.
Challenge Quilts Laural Hoppes
Each year the guild issues a challenge to the quilters. The chairperson of the challenge determines the rules. For 2009, we will be making a lap-size mystery quilt. The quilt will measure for just the top, 48” x 56”. If you add the border, 64” x 72”.
Charity Quilts Ann Seymoure
Charitable contributions of hand made quilts made by members are donated to the Safe Passage on a monthly basis.
Charm Strips Shopie Hamilton
Buy ½ yard of material (good quality), wash and iron before you cut. Be sure you have a least 6 strips 2 ½ inches wide. Bring your strips in a ziplock bag with you name and phone number on the bag. The strips will be swapped and you will get a mixed bag of strips at the next meeting.
Historian
Duties shall include maintenance of copies of all newsletters and minutes of meetings, library materials, records, and any other material of present or future historical interest to CSQG. An inventory of CSQG property will be maintained. The Chairperson will keep records of activities and transfer to successor.
Hospitality Susan Reed-Throckmorton
Each hostess is asked to bring two dozen goodies and two 2-liter drinks. We still need ladies for set-up and take-down. Set-up would require you to arrive early (6:00 p.m.) to set up tables and chairs. Take-down requires you to stay late to put them away.
Monthly Raffle Jean Woofter & Becky Straup
Each month, one of our guild member will donate something for the monthly raffle. Tickets can be purchased at the monthly meeting for $ .50 a ticket.
Newsletter Mary Hattick
Put 'n Take Cheryl Griffin
One man's trash is another one's treasure. Bring in quilt books, fabric, yarn, patterns, scraps (no small pieces please) for other guild members to take home.
Raffle Tickets Debbie Korrell
Each year, the guild auctions off a quilt made by members. After the top is assembled, it is quilted by volunteers of the guild. Every member of the guild helps to sell the tickets. This is a main source of income for the guild.
Raffle Quilt Custodian Jean Woofter & Debbie Korrell
The custodian is responsible for knowing at all times where the raffle quilt is.
Secret Pals Sophie Hamilton
What is a Secret Pal? Every six months, members fill out a form about themselves (birthday, favorite color, patterns, fabrics, etc.) and names are drawn for a "pal" to get to know. With the information provided, members have a chance to surprise their pal with little gifts and cards each month.
