[Non-VP Event] NCQC January Jumpstart Membership Growth & Retention

January 14 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

This is not a Vallejo Piecemakers event, but included here for interested Vallejo Piecemakers members… Please see the NCQC website for more information: https://ncqc.net/

The information below copied from the email “NCQC Jan 14th Weds. Mtg Zoom Membership Growth & Retention forward to all members” sent out to Vallejo Piecemakers members.


Register now for the Jan 14 general zoom meeting:

For distribution to all Members of NCQC Share with all members of your guild-all welcome. Register online with the link above. The link will also be on the NCQC website under: events tab, January Jumpstart

There will be three topics that will be discussed:

  1. Marketing: How does a guild let the public know it exists, what it does, where and when does it meet.
  2. Greeting New Members: How does a guild greet its new members and help them get to know what is available, ways to get involved, and introduce them to other members.
  3. Keeping Members Interested: What types of programs does a guild provide, what activities can a member do at a meeting or at other times.

There will be at least 3 guilds invited to start the discussion on each of these topics.  After presentations, they will accept questions.  Also, there will be a Zoom Room for each topic where detail questions can be asked and answered.

We ask that a person be designated as a scribe in each Zoom Room to take note of ideas that were not presented during the general meeting.  These additional ideas should be shared at the end of the Zoom Room session.

Many Thanks,
Jenny Lyon, Director, NCQC
Northern California Quilt Council

Baby Quilt Relay 2026

February 21 @ 9:30 am – 3:00 pm

Our annual Community Outreach Relay for baby quilts will be held on Saturday, February 21 at the FDC. Come help the Community Outreach Wednesday Group sew and complete the baby quilts. The doors of the Florence Douglas Center will open at 9:30 am for set up. Join us anytime until we close at 3:00 pm. 

There will be kits on hand. If you don’t want to sew, there are other steps in the process that you can help with:

• Pressing the fabric
• Sandwiching tops with batting and backing
• Pinning
• Sewing around the edges (inside out)
• Turning out
• Tying with yarn
• Topstitching
• Sewing labels on

We will have 2-3 ironing boards and irons set up. Bring your machines and cords and white or beige thread to sew with. We will have some straight pins, but you can bring your own, if you prefer. Those who wish to tie should bring a large eye needle, curved needle, or upholstery needle. We will have only a few on hand. We have yarn for tying. 

Lunch and Desserts will be provided. Bring your own beverages. 

We hope to see you there for fun, fellowship, and a few prizes!
