Template Deadlines
Deadline for submissions are: 

  • 8 June 2009
  • 8 October 2009
  • 8 January 2010
  • 8 March 2010
The editor is always on the lookout for articles and photos of what quilters have been doing so feel free to contact her if you have anything to share.

Is your quilt group holding a show or hosting a quilt-related event?  Provide us with all the details and we’ll list it in the calendar.

The first priority for our newsletter is to be a newsletter, reflecting the diverse and remarkable activities of our Guild and our members.

Contact the editor via email: editor@quiltersguild.nsw
or by post through the office.

A note on submitting photos or images: 
We want your photos to look as good as possible – help us help you by providing them as high-resolution, good quality images (aim for over 500K and closer to 1MB if possible for digital images).

Also, if you’re providing images, please provide detailed captions – who’s in the picture? What are they doing? What’s the name of the quilt and quiltmaker? At which event was this taken? When? Where? And supply contact details (preferably by an email address) so if the Editor needs to check, she knows who to ask.
