All about QC
This is our history.
The Quarter Connection is all about the world of Quarter Inch Scale Dollhouse Miniatures and the people who enjoy creating and collecting them.
We are an online group bound together through the internet, compliments of Groups.io.
Our group was started by Sally Dohrman in 1999. Her vision was to have a place for dollhouse miniaturists to share their love of quarter inch scale dollhouse miniatures with like minded others. Luci Hanson took over leadership of the group in 2002 and brought us many years of workshops, conventions, roundtables, projects and other quarter inch scale activities. Since 2012, QC has been led by Janet Smith and the QC leadership team.
Today, we are several hundred members worldwide enjoying quarter scale activities online. Check out our schedule of activities on the calendar page. If you are a quarter inch scale Dollhouse Miniaturist you will surely find QC a fun and educational place to be.
Thank you for visiting us and come back soon!

This Quarter on QC
We have a lot of activities planned for this quarter. So here goes!
Happy Spring and Summer
The 2nd quarter is all about Summer but since Sweet Rose took up most of the first quarter for so many of us, and is still the focus for a lot of you, we decided to push the Spring free project we had planned in January to the second quarter.
April 15 will launch the free project. Actually, 2 free projects since we are doing the Spring and Summer projects together. You can do one or both of these cute little seasonal displays.
Starting April 1st and running until April 5th, is the QC Auction. Be sure to check it out, there are some wonderful items to bid on.
We still have the Spring challenge running through May 31st. You just need to create a little project using water and flowers. You know the saying April showers bring May flowers? Well, our challenge is using both. It would be fun to see if you can come up with unusual ways to use both in a scene. How about a bathtub floating in a pond filled with flowers? Or a kitchen sink with a vase of flowers sitting in it with the water running and the sink overflowing? Oooh this could be fun. Click HERE for more info.
May 1-7 – Workshop by Jill Castoral. Watch for a preview in April.
June 1 preview of QC’s NAME Day project. Yes, QC will be doing NAME Day this year. The project this year is fantastic but you need to be a NAME member to purchase it, so if you are not a NAME member, or have let your membership lapse, you can join NAME for only $35 (online Gazette option) per year! We encourage everyone to become a NAME member, support our wonderful hobby, and join us in October when we make this great project. Check out the NAME website HERE, for more information about membership and all of their wonderful events.
Registrations for the QC NAME Day project will happen in the middle of June.
We will also be announcing a swap in June to coincide with the NAME Day project. Watch this space for more info on the swap.
