    Join NMQA's Community Service Committee every Tuesday to cut, sew, & quilt!  Pick up kits and drop off work!  Stay the entire time!  Everyone welcome!

    NMQA members donate more than 500 quilts per year to Albuquerque’s sick and needy children and adults.  Community Service is a cornerstone of the organization!  Our mission is to give the gift of warmth and love through beautiful handmade, lap-sized quilts.

    We meet every Tuesday from 9:30 - 1:30. Bring your machine and favorite tools. We have the fabric. There are two restaurants at either end of the mall or you can bring your lunch to the refrigerator in our area.

    For a fun evening of food, maybe a game or two, and a quilt show, mark your calendars now for the annual NMQA Holiday Party!

    Bring a cherished holiday themed quilt or wall hanging we can display at the meeting for everyone's enjoyment. Quilts with sleeves will be hung and others can be shown during a holiday show and tell.

    If you love to bake, any special holiday cookies you can share with those attending will be appreciated. NMQA will be providing drinks, snacks, candy and other holiday goodies, along with plates, cups and silverware. 

    In addition to the two door prizes Hospitality always provides, there will be lots of other prizes this year, so plan now to attend! 

    We'll have a holiday-themed Show & Tell at the meeting!  If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.

    “More Quilts and A Lot of Helpful Hints”

    featuring Barbara Gary


    NMQA's 50th Anniversary year kicks off with a lecture from Barbara Gary, certified Quiltworx instructor and NMQA Past President in 2003. Having made over 100 Quiltworx patterns, Barbara will share several of these finished quilts, as well as other quilts that she has completed. Along her teaching path, she has found techniques and methods that make quilting more fun and efficient.

     

    In 2011, Judy Niemeyer was a featured teacher and quilt artist for NMQA. That was Barbara’s introduction to the Quiltworx Pattern Company;  she applied for a spot in the newly established Quiltworx certification curriculum and successfully completed the three-year program, receiving her certification in 2014. She continues to teach and share her knowledge. Along the pathway, she has learned many tricks and concepts, many from her students.  


    We'll also have Show & Tell at the meeting!  If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.

    "Wrapped in Ribbon"

    Table Runner

    with Barbara Gary

    Celebrate the start of NMQA's 50th Anniversary Year by treating yourself to this fun and challenging workshop! The Wrapped in Ribbon table runner pattern was designed by Quiltworx as an optional color and block layout for one of their most popular table runner patterns known as the Cactus Flower Table Runner.  The cactus block used in this pattern has been used in several Quiltworx patterns in a variety of different layouts.  

    This is a perfect project for this 1-1/2 day workshop as it goes together very quickly!  Splitting the workshop into one full day and one half-day makes it possible for you to work on your paper piecing skills during the first day and your precision assembly of the pieces on the second half-day. Barbara will be there to guide you through the process. At the end of the second workshop day you should have a completed table runner to enjoy. The "Wrapped in Ribbon" table runner finishes at 17" X 51"

    Barbara Gary is a certified Quiltworx instructor from New Mexico -- and a former NMQA president!  

    There is a required $25 pattern fee, payable to the instructor.

    (This pattern provides piecing papers to make two qty table runners.)


    NMQA Cancellation Policy:  If NMQA cancels a workshop, you will receive a refund of the workshop fee via U.S. mail. However, due to contract obligations with instructors, NMQA is unable to provide refunds if you cancel your participation in a workshop and the Guild is not able to fill your place from a waiting list.

    "How to Balance the Use of Color & Patterned Fabric" 

    featuring Virginia Walton


    NMQA's 50th Anniversary celebration continues, with a lecture from Virginia Walton, a National BERNINA Ambassador and an international teacher who regularly teaches throughout the United

    States, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Virginia was NMQA President in 1986!  This Lecture shows through examples how to combine fabrics to create a wide variety of quilts. From Traditional to Modern, approximately 100 quilts, tops and other ‘pieces’ are shown to illustrate how color along with the value or depth of color will effect patterns.


    Virginia is the inventor of the CREATIVE CURVES RULERS, the CREATIVE CURVES ELLIPSE RULERS, as well as the non-curve CREATIVE CURVES KALEIDOSCOE RULER and the MULTI-ANGLE, WEDGE RULER. Her specialties include easy sewing machine techniques (a ‘No Pins’ curved piecing method in particular) and color or fabric selection. Virginia’s quilts can be seen in numerous national and international magazines and on her website. www.creativecurves.com


    We'll also have Show & Tell at the meeting!  If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.
