Abracadabra Quilt Magic - A New Quilting Year for The Old Capitol Quilt Guild, September 2026 - July 2027

We have some magic planned for you this year!

We will take quilt blocks and then "abracadabra."

When we meet:

Our morning group meets the 2nd Monday at 11:00 a.m. at the She Shed in Fillmore.

The evening group meets the following Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the She Shed.

Parking is in the back of the She Shed.

-We will still have the on-time drawing, Sew-and-Share, and Bingo.

- We encourage each member to make more than one block so they can cut the demo block in different ways and experiment further each month.

-It was proposed that we pick some coordinating fabric yardage and have someone (1-2 people each month) make one disappearing block from the fabric each month. Then those blocks will combine to make our scholarship quilt for the quilt show in Sept 2027.

- These plans are not set in stone. They are all subject to change, but they are a starting place.
