We invite you to join the La Plata Quilt Guild (LPQG). All levels of quilters are welcome to share their enthusiasm and quilting talents. LPQG, as a non-profit organization, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1986. Today, the members represent a cross-section of the community with a common interest in quilting. At LPQG, you can expect to meet unique individuals learning ab
out design, color, techniques, the community, and each other. LPQG has an elected Board of Directors who plan and executes guild business. Their responsibilities include budgeting, accounting of guild funds, and assisting in the planning and execution of all activities sponsored by LPQG. Within the guild, established committees plan educational activities and special projects for guild members. Our monthly meetings feature informative programs on various aspects of quilting and may include guest speakers. Members volunteer to sponsor block exchanges, door prizes, challenges, block of the month and mystery quilts. During the show-and-tell portion of the meetings, individuals reveal the magic”of their quilting projects. LPQG sponsors Saturday Workshops, which include learning new techniques, helping fellow members, and serving the community by making quilts for donations and/or raffling. Every year the LPQG FAIR COMMITTEE CHAIR attends meetings to set policy for the Quilt Division of the La Plata County Fair. Committee members check in quilts, oversee judging, represent LPQG, and assist with the public viewing of the quilts. Programs, community involvement, and workshops are financed by the LPQG dues and the fundraising event. Each year, the Raffle Committee designs the quilt, and completes it with the assistance of members. Involvement in making and displaying the quilt at community events and selling tickets finance our commitments. Your participation will be sought and definitely appreciated.
