Our April meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 10th at 6:00 pm. We will be meeting at Patricia’s Fabric House at 333 East Commercial Street in East Rochester.
We are doing a giveaway this month. If you bring in a 10″ square we will put your name in a hat and ask one of the salespeople in the store to draw a name. That person will go home with all of the 10″ squares collected from the group. It should be fun!

The February meeting is set for Wednesday, February 13th at 6:00 pm. We will be meeting at the studio of one of our members. The studio is located in the Hungerford Building at:
1115 East Main Street, Rochester
Door #2, Studio 307
“Quilting with Margaret”
You also have the option of participating in a “Quarter to Four” exchange.
Please bring ONE fat quarter (cut into four pieces) to the February meeting. You will keep one of the pieces and then choose three more from the collection.
Use these four fabrics, plus any additional fabrics of your choice, to make FOUR similar 6″ or 8″ blocks. Use white as a background or accent if this works in your blocks.
Be prepared to bring these blocks to a future meeting (TBD- probably May or June). You will keep one block and offer the other three to the group to choose from. Each participant will end up with four blocks to use in a project of your choice.
We had such a great meeting on January 9th! With 15 people in attendance, it was great to see old faces and meet many new friends. We met in Quilting with Margaret’s studio, which was a beautiful and inspiring space.
We spent a lot of time admiring each other’s work in a great show and tell. Here are just a few of the beautiful items people brought in:
We were also treated to an interesting demo by MJ on making floor cloths out of fabric. It was an interesting topic, and MJ did a wonderful job with our first group demonstration – she even brought handouts!
Our next meeting will be held the second Wednesday of February. Stay tuned to this space as the date approaches for more information.
The January meeting is set for this Wednesday, January 9th at 6:00 pm. We will be meeting at the studio of one of our members. The studio is located in the Hungerford Building at:

Also, remember to bring a 12.5″ block in the colors of our RMQG logo to be used as part of a group project. The block can be any style or pattern you like – half square triangles, curves, improv piecing, etc. We are hoping to create an item that showcases all of the variety and skill of our members!
See you there!
We had a wonderful meeting at Patricia’s Fabric House this past Wednesday. One lucky attendee won 12 fat quarters as part of a 12-12-12 drawing, and there was a fun pin cushion swap. Everyone made cute cushions, and I was lucky enough to win this beauty:
Please bring a 12.5″ block to the next meeting so we can make a group quilt. The block can be in a style of your choosing, but try to stick to the colors in our logo: citrus greens, pinks, oranges, light blues and purples.
