Programs, Betweens & Workshops

The guild's goal is to plan Program Activities for each of the monthly general meetings. The program will take place after the general meeting, show-n-tell and the 20 minute hospitality break. The program can consist of a mini demo, speaker or trunk show. Do you have any suggestions? Let us know.

Betweens take place between the afternoon and evening meetings. These are great little workshops to learn everything from embroidery stitches to embellish your quilt or how to turn a sweat shirt into an eye catching quilted jacket.

Some longer Workshops are also arranged that take place on a weekend. A fee may be charged to cover expenses such as venue and teacher costs.
