All levels of quilters are welcome to share their enthusiasm and quilting talents. LPQG, as a non-profit organization, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1986. Today, the 60 plus members represent a cross section of the community with a common interest in quilting. At LPQG you can expect to meet unique individuals learning about design, color, techniques, the community and
each other. LPQG has an elected Board of Directors who plan and execute guild business. Their responsibilities include budgeting, accounting of guild funds, and assisting in the planning and execution of all activities sponsored by LPQG. Within the guild, established committees plan educational activities and special projects for guild members. LPQG members meet the 4th Thursday of January through October at 5:30 p.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 495 Florida Road in Durango. In November we meet the 3rd Thursday and in December a Saturday Holiday Party is held. Our monthly meetings feature informative programs on various aspects of quilting and may include guest speakers. Also, members have volunteered to sponsor block exchanges, door prizes, challenges, block of the month and mystery quilts. Perhaps the best segment is individuals revealing the “magic” of their quilting projects during show and tell. LPQG sponsors Saturday Workshops which include learning new techniques, helping fellow members and serving the community by making quilts for donations and/or raffling. Every year LPQG FAIR COMMITTEE CHAIR attends meetings to set policy for the Quilt Division of the La Plata County Fair. Committee members check in the quilts, oversee the judging, represent LPQG, and assist the public viewing of the quilts. Programs, community involvement and workshops are financed by the LPQG dues and the fund raising event. Each year the Raffle Community designates the quilt design and with the assistance of other members, it is completed. Involvement in making it, displaying the quilt at community events and selling tickets finance our commitments. Your participation will be sought and definitely appreciated.
