  • Capital themed opportunity quilt: A stunning red and white quilt that contains both pieced and appliqué blocks sewn by over 35 guild members.  To purchase raffle tickets at $5 each, contact  quiltshow@needlechasers.org .
  • Artisan Boutique: Do your holiday shopping early!  Purchase beautiful items made by our members such as quilted placemats, aprons, and potholders; pillows, and “art to wear”, such as purses and tote bags.
  • Silent Auction: Bid on some fabulous quilts and other items made members of the NeedleChasers.  
  • "Calico Elephant" for quilters and other sewers:  Who doesn’t need more quilt books, quilt magazines, fabric, and sewing notions — and at bargain prices?! 
  • Quilting Demonstrations and family friendly activities: Learn how quilts are made and watch experienced quilters demonstrate this art form.  Children will have make-and-take quilt-related projects.
  • Guild Service Projects:  Learn about our community service activities.
