About Us

Guild meetings begin in September each year and run through June. Meetings are every 2nd or 3rd Monday of the month, from 7-9 p.m. See schedule for specific dates.  Between 7:00 and 7:15 p.m. members visit, check out books from the guild library, buy in-house raffle tickets, sign up for seminars and other events, pickup or drop off projects for Outreach programs and enjoy refreshments. The business meeting begins no later than 7:30 pm with introduction of new members and guests, show and tell, and announcements. Scheduled speakers or programs follow business portions of the meeting. Meetings generally end by 9:00 p.m. Guests and friends of members are always welcome at any meeting and are encouraged to sign our guest book.

The guild is funded by our bi-annual quilt show, through the sale of raffle tickets at each meeting, donations from members, membership dues and our infamous "Uglies Auction". Guests are always welcome and encouraged to give our guild a try, and make it their own.

Annual guild membership dues are still only $25. Guild benefits include:

  • Free lectures and inexpensive workshops by local and national instructors

  • AQS discount group book orders (see News page for links)

  • Great speakers and workshops

  • Summer workshops

  • Discounts at local quilt stores

  • Membership handbook

  • Monthly raffle (members donate items to be raffled)

  • Guild library of quilt books open for lending at all meetings and always being added to

  • Monthly Show and Tell by Members

  • Participation in Outreach activities

  • Monthly Newsletter

  • Opportunity to show work in bi-annual quilt show

  • Infamous "Uglies Auction" - an annual event where members bring in the uglies from their stash, we package them up in bundles and sell them off to the highest bidder. Proceeds go to fund the guild. It is a great way to build your stash with new fabrics while culling out the ones you no longer want/like/need
