"We're Enchanted With Quilting!"
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.
Join NMQA's Fundraising Committee every second Saturday of the month! Everyone welcome!
NMQA's fundraising committee coordinates all the plans for our major fundraiser at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and NMQA's famous balloon raffle quilt, as well as other fundraising opportunities throughout the year.
We meet once a month, plus host sew-ins to work on crafts for sale.
Join your NMQA friends for Thursday's Zoom Sew-In! Join at any time and stay as long as you wish!

Free parking and entry: quilts, vendors, raffle quilt, food truck!
How to Create a President’s Quilt or a Balloon Raffle Quilt
NMQA's own June Romero will take the mystery out of the design process and inspire us each to create a design for a President’s Quilt or a Balloon Raffle Quilt!
NMQA will provide paper, crayons, markers, colored pencils. You’re welcome and encouraged to bring any art stuff you like. Talking and laughing are encouraged during this hands on program! Anyone can build a quilt . . . maybe the design for the 2027 Balloon Quilt will be the result!
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.

History of Quilting
with Carolyn Mitchell
Carolyn Mitchell is a proud 20-year member of the Pecos Valley Quilters in Roswell New Mexico, where she first started quilting. Quilting is now her passion! Carolyn will give a presentation of the history of quilting and will be sharing her quilts.
Carolyn feels very fortunate to have been raised in Dallas, Texas by a mother who could sew beautifully, which gave Carolyn the opportunity at age 10 to start making her own clothes. She attended Texas Tech University, and then obtained a degree in home economics education from Utah State University.

Barbara Gary, certified Quiltworx instructor and NMQA Past President in 2003.
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.
