October Newsletter
from RCMQG
Is it quilt season yet?
This month we celebrate all things spooky, but we also celebrate much more than the sweets and screams we get on Halloween.
The months of September and October share the celebration of National Hispanic Heritage month. We also celebrate Columbus Day which doubles as Indigenous People's day.
No matter what you are celebrating this month, we are celebrating the start of all things cozy. Pull out those flannels and carefully stored quilts, it is time for smores and maybe some football(on tv of course).
Programing
The made fabric challenge reveal is this month!
Following Genn's program, We will have an opportunity to participate in a virtual workshop by Carol Lyles Shaw. Anyone who would like to participate will register individually, and then we will coordinate participating together in the month of November. Learn more about this program HERE.
Charity
The QuiltCon Community Outreach Quilt is near completion. Several hands have worked on this beauty!
November's Sew-cial Saturday will have a theme! Its going to be a day dedicated to charity projects. It is time to get that final push to complete our goals this year!

Bring any finished submissions for the auction to this even. This will give time for the auction prep to begin without having a time crunch.
Bring a chair, a drink, and your mask. We can't wait to see you!
Holiday Gift Swap
This year we are going to do a "Porch Drop Swap". All you need to do to participate is purchase/make a gift, wrap it in a fat quarter and place it on your porch. Our officers will be following a route around to drop a gift on your porch, and pick your gift up! Your gift will be delivered to the next person on that route and so on. Think of it like a gifting round robin!
More details to come, but we wanted to give everyone ample time to make or purchase their holiday gift.
