March 2024 Membership Meeting

A Brief History of NMQA Balloon Raffle Quilts & Demystifying the Balloon Quilt Design Process

The 2026 Balloon Raffle Quilt "Call for Entries" is open!  Celebrating NMQA's 50th Anniversary could be what inspires you to submit a design for the 2026 Balloon Raffle Quilt . . . or maybe it's the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States happening in 2026. Whatever your inspiration, during this presentation on the Balloon Raffle Quilt Design Process, you'll see a slideshow of some of the past Balloon Raffle Quilts and learn:

• A brief history of NMQA Balloon Raffle Quilts
  
• What is required to submit an entry for consideration (size parameters, design requirements, etc.)
  
• What happens when your design is selected
  
• How balloons are selected
  

We'll also have Show & Tell at the meeting!  If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.
