The Las Colcheras Quilt Guild (LCQG) was established in 1988. It is dedicated to promoting the love & art of quilting. We do love to share our education & knowledge with our members & those who are interested in becoming part of our quilting community. If you come to visit us, you will find the guild has members all along the quilting spectrum, from seasoned quilters to those who recently got hooked into the world of quilting. We hope you find this a guild where you can form new friendships, enjoy new experiences, grow in your quilting knowledge, and can feel comfortable sharing your talents and enthusiasm for quilting with us.
If you previously belonged to a guild or quilt group, you would find familiar activities such as monthly guild meetings, show and tell, sew-in’s, national speakers, and the biennial quilt show. Two things that set this group apart from others include Quilting Bees and the community efforts that include Community Cupboard and Outreach programs.
We have a biennial Judged Quilt Show on even years and the “Turtle Camp” retreat on odd numbered years. Our various Bees meet weekly/monthly for all skill levels to enhance your quilting abilities.
We usually meet the third Monday of each month (unless a scheduling conflict) at the American Legion Post 10, 1185 E. Madrid Ave, Las Cruces, NM. We have a monthly Sew-in on the third Monday of the month that starts at 9:00am & runs to 4:00pm. Then, our monthly meeting starts at 6:00pm for a Meet & Greet with the General Meeting/Program starting at 6:30pm. Guests are welcome to come to meetings before joining.
We look forward to you coming to visit at our monthly meeting an hope you will consider joining in our quilting adventures.
Cindy Peterson, President
