​

If you are interested in joining us on the Quilt Show Committee, we have a few key positions that need a Chair. Please contact Cherie' or Jean Anne. Our first planning meeting will be in April.

​

Start your sewing machines!

The 2026 North Idaho Quilt Show will be here before you know it! If you put an entry in the Fair, consider entering the same fabulous project in the show. Keep in mind that there will be a maximum of 10 entries per person and each quilt entered must have a hanging sleeve.

 

Instructions for creating a sleeve will be on the NIQ website in October.

Also, if you would like to donate to the Fat Quarter Raffle, Barb King will be accepting fat quarters starting at the September meeting.

Questions? Contact Cherie' or Jean Anne.
