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. 

 

There's something for everyone next year: traditional quilts, art quilts, modern quilts . . . and everything in between.

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.
