Mission:

The purpose of the Dakota County Star Quilters (DCSQ) is to offer an interesting and informative forum to share our common interest in the art of quilting. We are located in Dakota County, Minnesota, near the Minneapolis / St. Paul.

Meetings:

Visitors are always welcome. Thinking of joining?  Come to a meeting and get to know us.

DCSQ meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month, 7-9 pm, at the Eagan Community Center, Eagan, Minnesota.  (Click here for directions.

In February, our meeting is at our annual quilt show at the Dakota County Historical Society in South St Paul.

 The July meeting is a potluck picnic at a park in Eagan.

 

Library

DCSQ has a small but growing library.  Members can check out books, patterns, and video tapes and keep them for 2 months.  After that , if they are returned late, there is a $1.00 per month late fee.  To borrow materials you must be a DCSQ member.

Late fees are used to help us purchase new library materials.  We also try to offer a number of things for sale at "garage sale" prices.  These also help finance our purchases.  Please buy and support our library!  If you have some nice books you no longer use, you may donate them to the library.  The DCSQ Librarian reserves the right to keep them in the guild's collection or offer them for sale.
