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