Welcome to North Idaho Quilters!
2024 North Idaho State Fair
Wasn’t it exciting to see the quilts and other home arts back in building 3 where there was space to properly display them and better lighting to showoff the colors?
There were over 51 quilts by North Idaho Quilters members, and most of them had a ribbon. We haven’t received the list of the winners of the NIQ special awards yet, so will include that information along with photos oftheir quilts in the next newsletter.
Carla Gentry's Grand Champion quilt
Averie Barrios--- Grand Champion Youth Exhibitor
Shelly Noordam---"From Old to New" 1st place
Linda Cathey---blue ribbon
Sandy Billingslea--- Manager's Choice
Laura Miller--- Blue ribbon
Heather Rhodes--- Superintendent's Choice
The youth exhibits were all displayed in one area to make it easier for the kids and their families to locate their projects.
Pamela Moore---Washington State Quilters 2nd place
Thank you to Kate LePard & Linda Fleming and others who generously gave up their time to sell raffle tickets for our quilt.
Activity Day

At Activity Days throughout 2024 we have been doing Block Lotto. Each month a different block is presented at Activity Day. If you choose to participate, make 1 (or more) blocks and bring them to the next Activity Day. At that time you will get your name put into a drawing (one for each block returned) for that month’s blocks … winner take all.
​
October block will be Two Step block.
This is another simple and easy block, and as the name implies there are 2 simple steps.
