40th Anniversary Events

Posted on

Birthday CakeDOQ’s 40th Birthday is in 2018!

To celebrate, we have a number of new and retro events lined up:

  • YOUR Birthday Month – at the Guild meeting during your birthday month, you get to pick a fat quarter bundle and 2 patterns. It’s the Guild’s birthday present to you! You must be a paid member and present at the meeting to select your bundle and patterns.
  • Bi-Annual Silent Auction in January – A DOQ favorite event to clear out the old and bring in the new (new to you, at least)! The guild hosts this event that helps everyone shuffle their projects and start looking for new ways to inspire them.
  • Bus Trip to Hampton Mid-Atlantic Show Feb 24th– Vicki Childers volunteered to coordinate this – Thank you! Please see her article in the newsletter for more details.
  • National Quilt Day on March 17th – We will have a workshop or demonstration at a library with quilt related crafts for kids. We will definitely celebrate this special day!
  • Workshop with Rosie Summers on April 28th – The Deb Tucker Studio 180 Design workshop will be limited to 8 – 15 people and the Guild will cover some of the cost for the class. More details here.
  • Workshop with Augusta Cole: September 22 – 24 – Cynthia Latta is booking Augusta, who has taught and spoken to the Guild before. Thank you Cynthia!
  • Retreat in the fall – Ruth Brenner and Ella King volunteered to coordinate a Retreat for the fall, and are looking into venues now. Thank you Ruth and Ella!
  • A DOQ Quilt Show – We are still hoping to plan a quilt show of some type. If you would like to help, please contact anyone on the Board.
