2024 Member Survey - Don't forget!!

 Quick reminder for our members - if you haven't filled out the survey this year please do so. We want to know how 2024 was and what ideas you might have for 2025. The current and new executive boards are meeting, handing over tasks, and planning for 2025 so your input is valuable. Please take a moment before the holiday season gets too crazy.

Looking for Christmas Gift Ideas?

Do you have friends or family looking to get you that perfect gift? How about instead of a gift card for more fabric, have them contribute to your LMQG Spring Retreat fund. One size fits all and you can tell them about all the wonderful projects you will get done during your stay!

Plan to attend, March 28-30th, 2025! Watch the blog for more details as the date gets closer.

October 2024 Meeting Recap

 

Meeting Recap Notes

Our last meeting of the year didn't disappoint. We voted in the slate of officers for 2025. We heard about the fall retreat (start planning for the Spring Retreat! https://lincolnmqg.blogspot.com/p/lmqg-2025-spring-retreat.html). We encourage everyone to go and fill out our 2024 member survey so that we can provide programming that is of interest to our members (if you haven't completed it yet: https://bit.ly/LMQG2024Survey).

Then we had four Bee Groups show us what they have been working on and how their groups are structured. Many thanks to BeeUtifily Modern Quilts, Bewitched Quilters, Bee-Yond, and Bee Sew Quilty for all the examples and stories. You all know how to have fun!.

Here are the images from our meeting. See you all on January 11th for our next Sew Day, and January 28th for our next LMQG meeting!
