To purchase tickets for this beautiful Opportunity Quilt Drawing, contact information will be coming soon.
This quilt was recently appraised for $2,000.
Opportunity Drawing Tickets will be available to purchase. The Opportunity Quilt is a major fund raiser for CPQ. We really need everyone's help supporting this Opportunity Quilt Drawing. We encourage all members to purchase 4 books ($20.00) to sell or keep for yourself. Below are pictures of LaVonne Templeton's beautiful quilt she donated to our Guild. LaVonne is a Master Quilter and a Lifetime Honorary Member of CPQ. This is an amazing quilt.
We will pick a winning ticket at our annual Christmas party. This quilt is hand stitched and hand quilted. It's a queen size and it is beautiful!! Tickets will be available at our August General Meeting.

Chair, Karin Fitzsimons
We are asking CPQ members to make 5 items that you think a friend would enjoy as a gift. Remember, Fall is “boutique season” and handmade items are always nice to receive. Check out the list of suggested items here. ==>Boutique 2021 suggestion List
Pinterest is another option to find many free patterns, and I have my own personal Pinterest page dedicated for the boutique under “Boutique 21 Ideas” that might be helpful. Karin's Pinterest boutique page

Boutique Sewing
We have two Boutique sew-in days on Zoom each month!! This is a fun place to sew on boutique items while visiting with other members. I host the first Wednesday of each month, 10am - 2pm. Janice Biggs hosts the 3rd Wednesday of each month, 10am - 2pm. (These sew-ins often last longer, we can sew as long as there are people in the room :) Register on line or contact Karin or Janice for the Zoom Log in information. The Zoom ID & passcode for all of our Quilting Together Zoom Groups is located on our Members Only section of our website.
Here is the pattern we commonly use for our Sweet Dreams pillowcase. It is a free pattern from Me and My Sister Designs called Dilly Dally Pillowcase. It's fun & easy to make. 😊

Quilting Together (CPQ Small Groups)
Would you like to reach out to guild members, meet new people, socialize, all while sewing and creating things you're passionate about, without leaving your home? Welcome to CPQ Small Groups. This is how it works. Select a group you'd like to join , register (it's free to members), and just like that you are in a small group. There will be a leader in each group to help answer questions and open and close the meetings. And there you have it, it is just like your friends are sitting around your sewing table, chatting, helping, showing off projects. You can even change that load of laundry or make a snack, then head back to the group. Group times will be fixed for each meeting. It's like a weekly sewing group you're in every week, same time, same place. (or every other week, or monthly)
To check out our CPQ Quilting Together Groups and to register, hop on over to the Members Only tab on the left side of the home page, under Quilting Together Groups.
