is
a non-profit Society.
The purpose of the Guild is to bring the joy of quilting to the public by way of shows, displays, and demonstrations.
To bring ideas and learning experiences to the members by way of workshops, guest speakers, and demonstrations.
February Meeting Program
Febuary 14th – “We Love Our
Quilts!” First and last quilts! Your executive will
present their first and last quilts. What a trunk
show this will be! I predict there will be a few
stories and laughs here. We’ll tell you about our
last quilt and you have to see if you can match us
with our first quilt. Are we still sewing the same
kinds of quilts or have we changed what we like to
do? How about how the fabrics and techniques
have changed? Be ready for a trip down memory
lane.
Upcoming
Workshops
Please check out the Workshop Page for a description of more upcoming workshops.
January 28th Saturday – Feathers! Feathers!
Feathers! Lynne Fanthrope will continue to add to
our knowledge and skill in machine quilting with
this workshop all about sewing those graceful
feathers. Cost; $15.00, Location: Upper Hall,
Time: 9:30am – 3:45pm.
Cops For Cancer 2011
A big thank you to all members who contributed
quilts for this years’ ride. It was very successful, and
the quilts were greatly appreciated by all recipients.
Three of our members Maureen Farrell,
Lynne Fanthorpe, and Betty Allen were able to
attend the Opening Ceremonies and help
with the quilt presentations.
This year the ceremony was held indoors,
so the weather was not a factor as in past years.
I am pleased to report that because so many quilts
were donated to the cause, the participants
in the ride were also able to hand quilts
out to children that they met along the route.
If anyone has questions regarding the guild
participation in this worthwhile cause
please contact me.
Thanks!
