Scout your quilting supplies, notions & fabric for treasures:

• Duplicate items

• You’ve finished the project but the tools can be reused

• Fabric you’re not going to use

• Kits or UFOs that you no longer wish to make (bonus if the pattern is part of the package!)

Please only bring items that someone else will want! (If your item does not sell, please take it home at the end of the evening.)

One Dollar Table: There will be a table for patterns and solo fat quarters. No bid sheet is necessary for these items. 

Print the Bid Sheet and fill it out for each item that you're donating (except patterns and solo fat quarters). Bring your unwanted quilty items with bid sheets to the meeting. Be prepared to find amazing treasures as you shop and bid at the December meeting.

Holiday Potluck

If you have any holiday favorite foods to share, please feel free to bring a family favorite. All foods can be bought or baked—if you don’t cook, please buy. Please bring enough of your food item for 8 to 12 servings or more.

By last name please bring the following:

• A – D Salad: Vegetable, Pasta, Jello, Fruit or Side Salad

• E – H Dessert

• I – R Side Dish: Breads, Potatoes, Pasta, Appetizers, Veggies

*Please have your food item ready to go. If you have a favorite recipe, please share it. Let’s have fun—don’t stress out!

**Also, please do not bring serving utensils. We have a lot to use at the church and then yours won't get mixed in with theirs.

Nathlia Holtz pieced and appliequed this lovely Log Cabin Quilt, which was then quilted by Merrie Jones. Amazing job from both of them—thank you Nathlia and Merrie!

Chances will be available at the November meeting and at the Holiday Food & Gift Festival, along with our 2019 Raffle Quilt.

Our last and BIGGEST event of the year, the Holiday Food and Gift Show, is coming up November 15-17!

And we need YOUR help!

The HFGS is being held at the National Western Complex, 4655 Humboldt St., Denver, CO 80216 and runs for three days:

• Friday, Nov 15 – 10 am - 7 pm
• Saturday, Nov 16 – 10 am - 7 pm

• ACQ members signed-up to sell raffle tickets will receive free admission to the show.

Sign up because we need your help!

Here's how it works:

1. Sign up here.
2. Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
3. Sign up! It's easy—you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.com.

Sign up

Note: If you prefer, please contact Nancy Conklin (raffle.acq@gmail.com) and she will sign you up.

It's rare for us to cancel a guild meeting, but this is Colorado and we do have winter weather. If the board makes the decision to cancel a meeting, it will be posted on the website, on our Facebook page, on Instagram and we'll send members an email with as much lead time as possible. 

In any case, please use your own judgement for your safety. We know some members travel further than others and roads may vary.

Thanks to the record cold weather in October, we moved the Book Sale to our November meeting. Doors will open early at 6:00 on November 14.

Come ready to browse and buy! We have hundreds of books that are looking for new homes where they can inspire your next project.  There should be something for everyone.

• Come early on November 14 to visit the book fair! Doors will open at 6:00.
• All book fair proceeds benefit your ACQ. Come and support a good cause and have fun at the same time. 
• Cash or check are the preferred form for payment. We can accept credit card for purchases over $10.00.
• Be sure to bring a tote bag for carrying home your purchases.
• Please do not return any ACQ library books at the November meeting; you can return them at our December meeting. We want to avoid having any library books get mixed up with book sale books.
• Please do not bring magazines for giveaway at the November meeting, there simply won't be space for them.

Due to the tremendous donation of books, we are going to change our pricing this year.  The more books you purchase, the cheaper the per book price is. Your total price will be the quantity of books + $1:

Number of Books: Price 1 book: $2.00 2 books: $3.00 3 books: $4.00 and so on.
