Mission:
The purpose of Dakota County Star Quilters shall be to contribute to the growth of knowledge about quilting techniques, patterns, history and quilt-making by providing educational meetings, fun and fellowship, by sponsoring and supporting quilting activities, by encouraging quilt-making, and by promoting the appreciation and knowledge of quilts.
We are located in Dakota County, Minnesota, near Minneapolis and 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.
