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.

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
