Capitol City Quilt Guild (CCQG) was organized in March, 1984, to encourage fellowship, cooperation, and learning among area quilters and to promote public appreciation for creativity and high standards for quilting.  CCQG is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization giving to the community education, hosting quilt shows to spread the art of quilting.  The Guild members make and donate quilts for various charities and as well as provide free education seminars for the public on the art of quilting.





NEW!

Autumn has arrived!  The trees have begun to change colors.  It won't be long and they will be falling and I will be busy raking leaves.  October is my birth month.  Therefore, I love this time of year.  Pumpkins, caramel apples and Halloween are some of my favorite things in the Fall.

I finished my last camping trip to Holland last month.  It was a little lonely as it was the first time without my camping buddy, my dog, Bella.   She crossed the rainbow bridge as a result of a heart condition.  I had a great time with my camping friends, however, and they have 9 or more dogs combined so there was plenty of dog love readily available.   The weather was perfect.  I went to the beach, Farmer's Market, shopping downtown, and a bike ride to Bowerman Blueberries Farm Market.  I also shopped at Pressing Matters Quilt Shoppe.  They were only open for one more hour and then closing permanently.  It was sad to see another brick-and-mortar quilt store close, but I was happy for the owner who was retiring.

My two year old grandson started Montissori pre-school for half days.  My oldest grand-daughter turned 16 and got her driver's license!   I just got a new puppy!  Her name is Maggie.  She is a 4 month old Havipoo (Havanese & Poodle). She is a bundle of energy!  She will definitely keep me busy!

Thank you to the guild members who donated quilts for the raffle!  There are seven beautiful quilts that you can help raise money for the guild by selling tickets.  We will have a booth in Novi at the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo November 14, 15, & 16.  We will be selling tickets for the raffle, and we will be promoting our guild to prospective visitors and new members.  Winners will be drawn at our November meeting.  

I am currently sewing a foundation pieced quilt with Legit Kits called "Deep Dive". It is a  Block of the Month, which is a sea turtle.  It is halfway done, and I am just starting Month Seven of the BOM.  I have also completed several table runners that will be gifts.  I am a huge fan of Gudrun Erla from GE Designs.  Therefore, I am starting a small group that will make all of her quilts in her new book "Stripology Quickies" over the next year.  See the newsletter for details or contact me personally.
