Forget-Me-Knot Quilter’s Guild

More About Us

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

Print out our Guild Membership Form if you'd like to become a member of our group. 

bullet

"Scraptalk" our Forget-Me-Knot newsletter, will be mailed to your home every month.

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

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 in the Calico Cow quilt shop on the 2nd floor of the Mt. McKinley Bank building, 1380 Richardson Highway, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and cost is only $2.00.  Attendees are welcome to bring a potluck dish to share.  Please join us for a day of food, fabric and fun!

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

Guild business meetings are held monthly on the Monday following that Saturday's Craft Day.  We meet at 5:00 PM in the Calico Cow's classroom located on the 2nd floor of the Mt. McKinley Bank building, 1380 Richardson Highway.  Anyone interested is welcome to attend.  After business is conducted, we "show and tell" our latest quilting projects, and then have a drawing where the lucky winner receives a bunch of fat quarters.  (A fat quarter is a quarter yard of fabric that measures 18"x22"). 

bullet

Each month, we have a luncheon to celebrate that month's member's birthdays.  Most everyone brings a fat quarter, and each birthday guest leaves with a wide variety of fat quarters to add to their ever-growing-larger "stash" of fabric.  

bullet

At our annual Christmas party (which is a very popular event), those members 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 year, in the 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 year, our guild sponsors the quilting section in the Exhibit Hall at the Deltana State Fair in beautiful downtown 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.
