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.

Instructions for attaching a hanging sleeve for the annual DCSQ Quilt Show, from Trisha Millonig:
LARGE quilts (greater than 45 inches wide) will need a sleeve on the back top edge. Cut a strip of fabric the width of the quilt top and 10 inches wide. Fold in half lengthwise and sew a 1/4 inch seam. Hand or machine baste to the top edge of the quilt back.
SMALL quilts (less than 45 inches wide) will need a sleeve on the back top edge. Cut a strip of fabric the width of the quilt top and 5 inches wide. Fold in half lengthwise and sew a 1/4 inch seam. Hand or machine baste to the top edge of the quilt back.
Table runners will be hung lengthwise on the small quilt racks, so put the sleeve across the shortest side. Cut strip 5 inches and sew as above.
