Last Update: May 31, 2010
We offer great programs! Our programs are designed to provide inspiration for the quilter-at-heart. They consist of lectures, slide presentations, demos, and training sessions including half-day and all-day workshops. Local and national speakers offer educational interactive sessions, encouraging member participation.

Upcoming Programs:

  • SEPTEMBER-2010 - "Wool Appliqué" Trunk show and demonstration.
          Kathleen Baden will feature a trunk show and small project demonstration
          showcasing how quilters can use felted wool to embellish their quilts.

  • AUGUST-2010 - Shirley Hummel: A Square in a Square.

  • JULY-2010 - MEET YOUR NEW BOARD -
          New Board will show a few quilts and tell everyone about themselves.

  • JUNE-2010 - "Potluck Dinner - Let's Eat!"
          A great time of food, fun, and fellowship! These “eating” meetings are the best!
          Please bring a side or dessert to share for the June meeting. We will keep it
          informal this year (no decorating tables, just fun food and fellowship). The guild
          will provide the ham/turkey, drinks, and paper products.

          Be sure to bring any Show and Tell you have to share.
