Welcome Quilters!
The Castle Rock Quilt Club meets the first Tuesday of each month from 6 to 8pm at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock, Colorado. Quilters of all levels (and even those of you who simply enjoy quilts) are invited to attend. Each quilt club meeting includes an exciting program, a short business presentation and an inspiring member show and tell.
If you’ve been telling yourself you’re going to “get into” something like this “someday” — today is the day! Please visit us, bring a friend or two and have some fun. Guests are always welcome. (If a paid speaker is presenting, a small guest fee of $5 is charged.) Our members hail from not only Castle Rock, but also Larkspur, Monument, Parker, Elizabeth, Franktown, Sedalia, Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Aurora. Come join us!
Membership costs $30 per year, from August through July. This allows you to participate in various activities including our retreats, social gatherings, charity sews and monthly meetings (in person and, occasionally, by zoom). New members receive our exclusive monthly minutes/newsletter, a name tag, an information folder and lots of encouragement and welcoming smiles.

What’s New
Our next Sew-In is June 28! The sew-ins are an opportunity to spend a pleasant day at the home of a CRQC member, just sewing (ahhhh). You need to sign up to attend a sew-in, so the hostess will know how many people are attending. In March, we had three locations with 4-6 people at each location. Currently we need one more volunteer to host – maybe you? Be prepared to sign up for the sew-in at our meeting this month.
We have a fun patriotic make-n-take for our July ice cream “sewcial” at the park, but we need your help for it to be successful! Please bring with you, to our meeting next week, scraps (or better yet a whole spool) of any width red or white/ivory ribbon, red or white/ivory trim, white or ivory lace, even red or white/ivory thin strips of fabric! We will cut lengths from this to suit our project. The more we have, the bigger our project! Can. Not. Wait.
We had a fantastic time at our 2025 Spring Retreat! Checkout the pictures of projects completed by those who attended. See the photos
Please help out the program committee by sharing your thoughts on future programs. Complete this form, Thoughts for the Program Committee, and bring it to the May meeting.
For this month’s block lotto, we are using Jelly Roll strips! This block gives us plenty of practice nesting seams. Instructions can be found online at Cluck Cluck Sew or on our website here.
Bring up to 10 completed blocks to the June meeting. (Each one earns you one entry into the lottery.) If your name is drawn, you win enough blocks for a small quilt/wall hanging (or perhaps a large one if you sew blocks for yourself as you create blocks for the lotto). No excuses, ladies – you can easily make a few of these simple blocks in an hour.! Learn more …
Come and join us for a new and fun activity! Get to know the members of our quilt club while you learn how to make this beautiful quilt. Pattern by Doug Leko. Our meetings are on the 2nd Tuesdays of each month at the Castle Rock Library. Learn more here…
