Newsletter
The Omaha Quilters’ Guild publishes a monthly newsletter on this website from August through June. The purpose of the newsletter is to provide members with program information on upcoming meetings and workshops, Guild activities, local and regional quilting events, and anything else pertinent to our Guild and the promulgation of the quilting experience.
OQG.Groups.io
The OQG Groups.io is a great way to share information about quilting and quilting activities.
What is the OQG Groups.io?
It is an informal way to communicate with other guild members. It is open only to current members and functions very similar to an email forum.
What’s included in the OQG Groups.io?
Quilting tips, quilt shows, lectures & workshops, bus trips, quilting scholarships, interesting websites, pleas for missing books or fabric, quilt contests, awards, etc., notices of illnesses and deaths. Notices of quilt-related items (such as sewing machines, books, quilt frames, etc.) for sale should whenever possible be mentioned after your signature with replies to be made privately to that person. Please indicate in the subject line the content of your post.
Ex: Subject: Library Books, Return Next Tues.
Ex: Subject: Quilting Conference, Scholarships Available
Ex: Marge Bresel, 1 Featherweight for sale, contact me privately

Website
The Omaha Quilters’ Guild has had a website since 2002. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly, paperless method of accessing the most up-to-date information about our guild and its activities. The website has been designed to meet the needs of our members and includes not only information about the guild but links to local merchants, online vendors, local shows, and other quilting links. We believe in appreciating the art and craft of quilt-making as much and as frequently as possible! Visit our site often to find information on membership to our guild, the monthly meetings, fall and spring retreats, philanthropic activities and our quilt show.
Our website is handled and maintained by ETM Creative and content to be published should be sent to the webstitcher@omahaquiltersguild.org
