February/March Block of the Month
Our February/March block is Ohio Star for charity.
Bring in as many 12½-inch
unfinished Ohio Star blocks as you want in batiks and use a light background (background does not have to be a batik). Please use quilt shop quality fabric. Unfinished size of block should be 12½”.

Quilters are Givers
Have you contributed your sewing skills during the quarantine to help anyone? We’d love to see pictures! I know many of us are doing masks, headbands, and more in addition to our normal quilting charities. Send pictures to newsletter@nsqg.club.
Quarantine Quilt Along
In case you missed it, our scheduled May speaker, Gudrun Erla did a live “Quarantine Quilt Along” of her Elvira pattern on Sunday, March 22. The sessions were recorded and posted on YouTube. Go to GE Designs to get the pattern (it was free but may no longer be), and then follow along the five sessions on YouTube below:
