What's New at CQ 1/31/2023
 Dear Friends, We have just received word that one of our instructors, Harry Fox, has had two of his quilts accepted into National shows! His quilt "Grandfather" has been accepted for the American Quilter’s Society Show in Branson, MO, March 22-25, 2023. It is based on a photograph of his grandfather, Harry Dietz, from around 1902. His quilt "Clematis In Bloom" has been accepted for the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in February 2023. We are absolutely thrilled for him and his well-deserved recognition. (Note: Harry WILL be teaching his Art Quilt class again later this year.)   We're deep in show preparation mode, as the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival is just three weeks away, and we'll be vending there for the very first time! Happy Sewing! -Marianne |

CQ Cares (Community Sewing Projects) |
We have placemat kits available at the shop, please stop by to pick up one (or two). For those who want to sew from their stash, click on the picture for the beginner-friendly Charm Square Placemats pattern, or you can use your own pattern.  Please return all completed placemats to Capital Quilts. Thank you for your continued support of the Capital Quilts Cares program. |
We have free pillowcase kits available! We donate all pillowcases to Ryan's Case for Smiles, who in turn distributes them to children battling serious illness. Pick one up next time you're in the shop, then complete it and return on your schedule. Alternately, use your stash and any of the Million Pillowcase Project patterns.  |
We have free small kennel quilts kits available. These little quilts are sent to shelters who take in pets displaced by natural disaster. To quilters, they are a great beginner project, a use for leftover fabric, and a place to practice free motion skills. To use your stash, visit www.kennelquilts.com  |
