Special Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups are composed of Guild members who have a common interest in a particular technique or style of quilting. Members may join these groups at any time and may belong to more than one group.

This page includes information about these groups that is not published to the public, including activities, projects, challenges, and leadership.

Mona Lisas

Leader: Lynette Helland

The 2025 Mona Lisa Challenge for the Quilt Show is "Collage Face". The 'face' may be human, animal, or a play on words (ie, face of a cliff, face down, etc). It must be 3 layers, quilted, and an original design. There is no size limit.  The owners name will not be revealed until the voting is over. Ribbons will be awarded. Anyone is welcome to participate. For more information see or call Lynette Helland.

Electric Quilt (EQ)

Leader: Melissa Grote

The EQ group meets on the first Monday of most months. Each month, they explore a feature of EQ and work together to make sure they all know how to use it. Bring your computer (with EQ) and a lunch. 

EQ Group Challenge for the 2025 Quilt Show

Design a quilt in EQ and make it. Your project can be any shape with a perimeter between 80 and 150 inches. You must include a printed design to hang by your quilt. You can do as many projects as you like. These quilts are for display only (no voting or ribbons).
