The Narragansett Bay Quilters’ Association meets in East Greenwich, RI.
This 250 member guild brings together people from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts and beyond to share, teach, learn and promote the art of quilting.
Presidents Message:
Hello ladies:
Well, we did it. We made it through the Blizzard of 2026. I hope you were able to sew and are ready for our quilt show. Are you getting excited? It is going to be the best show ever. Hats off to the planning committee for this show; they have done a phenomenal job putting it all together. But we still need your help setting up and taking down so please be sure to sign up at the March meeting – the sign-up sheet will be in Fellowship Hall. Remember, many hands make light work.
The speaker for March is Beth Helfter and she will be vending before the meeting. She has requested to be the only vendor so we will not be hosting The Boutique this month but will hopefully in April. We will still open the doors at 5 ish so we can set up and you are welcome to pop in any time after that. We will start the meeting promptly at 6:30 as always.
I have been asked, why are we not utilizing our members-only Facebook page and that got me thinking – what can/should we post? How about this – “Whatcha working on?” During the blizzard, I finished three Comfort quilts and made 106 mug mats (and counting). I will be sure to post pictures, and let’s see what you have. Come on, let’s make this fun, and everyone join in.
One more pitch to fill the Board positions: we need you to continue the success of this guild. We are 175 members strong, and I know we can do this easily. I will mentor/work alongside you as my four years are up in May. The Nominating Committee has started their phone calls, and we have one candidate for Secretary, but that still leaves President, Vice President, Historian, and Membership.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in person at our March 19th meeting.
Gail Macera
NBQA President
