Updates

Hello Quilty Friends,


What’s that? Where’s Liz? She’s off to Wisconsin to experience a new chapter in her life. She sends her sincere farewell to all of us and has graciously handed over the reins to me as organizer of the Denver Quilt Guild. I hope to serve you all well, just as Liz did the past 6 years. My goals are to continue to create community, educate our guild on quilt making, and encourage one another in our quilting endeavors. Meanwhile, we’ll have loads of eye candy to inspire us along the way.


I will be sending out communication a little differently. A DQG website has been created. The website is a ‘working’ document and not set in stone, but yet it is a boiler plate idea of what we are doing this year. The website has all our basic information about who we are, where we meet, and so forth. The website is www.denverquiltguild.blogspot. Go, check it out, and share your feedback with me. The site is in need of eye candy too, in regards to pictures I mean. If you have any pictures you’d like to share of our guild and quilts, please send them along.


Also, you’ll be getting our emails through Mail Chimp. I’ll be using Mail Chimp to help me keep track of our member’s email addresses. There’s a “Join the DQG” on the right sidebar of the DQG website. Anyone can join and start receiving emails immediately.


I’ll be switching away from using ‘invite’ on Facebook and use Meetup. I’ll repost any new invites back to the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/denverquiltguild), but details/reminders of each meeting/event will generate from Meetup. There’s no requirement to RSVP on Meetup, however, if you like reminders, then RSVPing in Meetup will generate those for you.


Further, you’ll notice we have 2 opportunities to participate in our monthly meetings. We’ll continue to meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month, but we’ll have a day and evening time to meet. The day meeting runs from 1030am to 1230pm at the Tattered Cover Bookstore on Colfax in Denver. The evening meeting runs from 630pm to 8pm at Wooden Spools in Englewood.


Thank you for your support. I look forward to the continued growth of the DQG.


Feedback and input are always desired.


Come and join us!
