2026 NEORQC Getaway News

The Northeast Regional Quilt Council (NEORQC) is planning its next conference for 2026.  A large part of the success of the Getaway is the committed teachers and interesting projects we experience every year. We are beginning our planning for 2026 and are interested in you submitting a class proposal with you as the teacher. The Getaway dates are February 20-22, 2026. The Getaway begins on Friday at 2:00 pm for the teacher to meet the class and begin the class. On Saturday, the class is from 9:00 to 5:00 with a lunch break. And the event ends on Sunday after a morning class time of 9:00 – 11:00 am and a luncheon with a presentation of the class projects.   Currently, our teachers receive $400.00 for eleven hours of classroom instruction for the weekend, and the room and meals are included.

Suggestions for classes received by the Committee in the past include machine quilting, including ruler use; basic techniques, including working with a color palette, stack and whack kaleidoscope; machine appliqué; art quilts; scrappy quilt; collage quilts; one block wonder; and ideas using panels in creative ways.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, we ask that the proposal be submitted by May 15, 2025. Attached are the forms needed for your proposal, the proposal guide, and teacher agreement. We look forward to receiving and reviewing your proposal. The proposals will be reviewed by the Getaway Committee, with final approval completed by the end of May.  

The teachers selected will be notified by the end of May. Teachers are encouraged to present their class projects at the NEORQC June 7 General Meeting to the membership. 

The proposals can be emailed to the Getaway Chair Mary Rose Nordquist at [email protected] or mailed to:

Mary Rose Nordquist, 4651 Euclid Blvd, Youngstown, Ohio 44512

We hope to hear from you. Have a Great Quilting Day,

Mary Rose Nordquist, Treasurer/Getaway Chair; Barbara King, President; and The Getaway Committee
