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:
Happy Summer Everyone!
As I write this, it is coming up on the Summer Solstice. With the warmer weather and longer days, it is a great time to get some quilt planning done, some quilt making done and some quilt finishing accomplished! The NBQA Summer Challenge focuses on quilts commemorating our country’s 250th birthday. Look for details on that challenge elsewhere in this newsletter to refresh your memory and maybe get you motivated. There is still time!
Make a Comfort Quilt! NBQA contributes many quilts to organizations throughout our area. The “Comfort Quilts Closet” always use new additions. If your stash is already designated for personal projects, reach out to Gail Macera, gailmacera1@gmail.com , for a kit and make a quick (or complicated) quilt top for the cause.
Finally, thank you for completing the future programs survey. The results are being tabulated and sorted, and will be shared in a future communication. Your thoughts and choices will be invaluable in guiding our guild’s future programs. I hope all of you, and your families, enjoy the summer! Rest, Relax and Refresh your creative well so that you can meet the next guild year with creative purpose!
Enjoy the summer!
