Welcome to the GLHQ Web Site!
We are an evening guild from the Detroit, Michigan suburb of Bloomfield Hills. GLHQ was organized in 1992, and is currently 140 members strong. Our purpose is to promote cooperation and the interchange of ideas, to stimulate an interest in quilting, to present quilt-related educational programs, and to engage in charitable projects.
What's New? - February 2009 The February issue of the Great Lakes Heritage Quilters newsletter is now available for viewing online - click the Newsletter link on the left. If you still see last month's newsletter, please hit the "refresh" button at the top of your browser (usually a circular arrow.) Haven We are collecting paper products and utensils, including paper plates, napkins, paper towels, plastic utensils, tissues (Kleenex/Puffs), toilet paper, etc. for Haven. Please look around the house for an unused supply to donate or pick up an extra this week to help out a mother in crisis. Help Kids With Autism One of our members, Ann Woodman, works with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) classroom in a middle school in Birmingham. The children make fabric gift bags that they sell to raise money for their programs, as well as equipment. She approached a new eco-friendly store in Birmingham called Roots and Sprouts about selling the bags that the children make, and they have agreed! Oh joy! But....we need fabric. They are especially interested in fun or sweet children's fabric as they sell children's toys and clothing along with their other merchandise. Holiday fabric, kid friendly, novelty, or actually any nice fabric would be so appreciated! If you have any to donate, please bring it to the next meeting in a bag marked "ASD". Ann Woodman will collect your donations. New Links Thanks to our Mystery Quilt committee for several great quilting sites that are now on your Links page. A little bit about us

Newsletters are published monthly and are posted online - click the Newsletter link on the left. Quilters of all ages and experience levels are welcomed! Bring a cup if you want to help us stay 'green', or we'll have cups for you to use. When and where we meet We meet on the 2nd Thursday evening of each month, September - June.
