Welcome to the Forget-Me-Knot Quilter's Guild

We're very glad you stopped by for a visit. Allow us to introduce ourselves...

bullet

The Forget-Me-Knot Quilter's Guild is located in beautiful Delta Junction, Alaska, nestled between the mighty Delta and Tanana Rivers near the foothills of the majestic Alaska Range.

The Forget-Me-Knot Quilter's Guild is registered with the State of Alaska as a non-profit corporation, entity 134514, and Federal tax exempt 501(c)(7) organization.

Our guild was established in 1995. Our mission is to promote the appreciation and knowledge of quilts and the beautiful art of quilt making. We are fortunate to have a diverse group of seasoned quilters, as well as new quilters; each bringing their own special talents and backgrounds to form a unique camaraderie. (In other words, we're a great bunch of folks).

Anyone is welcome to attend our regular meetings and events. Come and see what our guild has to offer. Visitors are welcome any time. However, if you're interested in becoming a member, we'd love to have you join us!

Beside hanging out with a bunch of quilters who love to play with fabric, here are some of the other benefits you'll receive for joining our group:

bullet

"Scraptalk" our monthly Forget-Me-Knot Quilter's newsletter, is published and sent to members.

bullet

Your Forget-Me-Knot Quilter's Guild membership card entitles you to discounts at quilt shops, fabric stores, and our annual "Spring Fling" and fall quilting retreats.

bullet

Our local, friendly Calico Cow Quilt Shop offers classes each month, and has over 1500 bolts of fabric, quilting books, sewing notions and gift items. Special sales and discounts are always happening at the Calico Cow, so stop by for a visit and check it out! 

bullet

Our guild's program calendar has a special project planned for each month throughout the year. The second Saturday of each month is "craft day" where we learn a new quilting project or technique. Craft Day is held from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the classroom at the Calico Cow Quilt Shop, located on the 2nd floor of the Mt. McKinley Bank building, 1380 Richardson Highway, in Delta Junction. Attendees are welcome to bring a potluck dish to share. Please join us for a day of food, fabric and fun!

bullet

Guild business meetings are held from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM in the classroom at the Calico Cow Quilt Shop, (just prior to the Saturday "craft day" activity). Anyone interested is welcome to attend our guild business meetings. After business is conducted, we "show and tell" our latest quilting projects, and then we get started on Saturday's craft day activity.

bullet

At our annual Christmas party, members who are interested in participating may draw an anonymous name for a "Secret Quilting Pal" for the following year. Participants then give gifts to their Secret Quilting Pal once a month, or on special occasions several times that year. Secret Quilting Pals are revealed at the end of the year during our Christmas party.

bullet

Our very popular annual "Spring Fling" event is held in March or April, and usually includes a special guest instructor. Quilters from across Alaska and the lower 48 states have attended past events. The Spring Fling is guaranteed to be great fun and a wonderful learning experience with other quilters.

bullet

Each autumn, we have our "Fall Retreat" where we spend two days and two nights sewing, eating, sewing, eating, and sewing some more.... we sure know how to have fun!

bullet

Each summer, our guild sponsors the quilting section in the Needle Arts Building at the Deltana State Fair in Delta Junction. Also during the fair, we hold our annual "Silent Auction" fundraiser and guild members make small wall hangings for the auction. Proceeds from the auction go toward the guild's operating budget.

bullet

The joy of giving: Each year, our guild raffles off a beautiful quilt that the members have made. Proceeds from this raffle go toward purchasing fabric for our "fire quilts." Throughout the year, our guild sews blocks and provides quilts to local families that have been victimized by house fires.

bullet

You get all this...and more! Membership dues are just $35.00 per year.
