January 2026 Membership Meeting

January Business Meeting and Celebration of 1981 NMQA Raffle Quilt's Acceptance into ABQ Museum Collection

Kick off the new year by attending NMQA's January meeting at a special location: the Albuquerque Museum.**  We'll start the meeting with important business (i.e. voting on our budget) so make sure your membership is active and you're ready to vote.  

Following our business meeting, we'll hear from Alicia Romero, Curator of History at the Albuquerque Museum.  Alicia recently facilitated the acceptance of NMQA's 1981 Raffle Quilt into the Museum's permanent collection.  Alicia will give us an introduction to the other quilts that the Museum holds in its collection and how the Museum makes decisions about what types of quilts to accept from donations.  Then we'll have the opportunity to look at a few of the quilts in the Museum's collection while Cindy Kurey, AQS Certified Quilted Textile Appraiser, provides her expertise about each item.

** Parking enforcement will not be in effect in the Museum's parking lot during our meeting so you can park there free of charge.  DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS, we won't be able to have Show & Tell at the meeting -- save your quilts for February!
