ACTIVITY DAY
Our next Activity Day is October 10th
Activity Day meets every two months on even months.
(Feb, April, June, August, October, and December)
Bring your lunch, coffee is provided.
Work on your own project or join in on small Mystery projects. Information and supply lists for Activity Day Mystery projects are emailed to membership the month prior.
Keurig will be available for
your drink pods.
Location: Calvary Lutheran Church;
1011 N. Compton St., Post Falls
from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm.
On Saturday, October 10 from 9:30 - 3 pm, along with our optional mystery project, we will assist members in making their guild nametags.
Angel Rutan will be there with her embroidery machine to put your name on your fabric, then Catherine Ghirarduzzi and Cindy Little will help you paper piece your name tag.
Please see the instructions on the website under MEMBERS ONLY and bring your fabrics to Activity Day this Saturday.
Starting in February, Activity Day will include an optional activity! I will provide instructions for a mystery project (usually a table runner or other small project) for each activity day. An email will be sent out the month prior to Activity Day with information on what you need to bring if you would like to participate. You are always welcome to work on your own project, but many members have expressed interest in planned activities. Activity Day is a great way to meet other members and have fun.

Much thanks for everyone's continued generosity and support of Community Service's efforts to spread quilted blessings throughout the area. As of 9/30/2026, a total of 377 quilts have been donated in 2026 to individuals, Canopy Village, multiple hospice agencies, multiple Head Start programs, Habitat for Humanity, and many other organizations serving folks in North Idaho. This is only possible thanks to everyone's assistance and generosity.
Of course, the need is ongoing (as I know it is everywhere). Two specific ongoing needs are patriotic quilts (any size) as all hospice agencies have requested some every quarter and quilts for children of all ages (donated to Canopy Village, Habitat for Humanity, and Head Start (end of summer 2027).
Do not hesitate to reach out to me (Laura Miller - email and/or cell below) with any specific questions regarding ongoing needs. Thanks in advance for everyone's help in supporting this very important mission of NIQ (which also doubles as excellent publicity and public relations for the guild).
If you have a quilt top or finished quilt to pass to Community Service, please contact
