Program Meeting
Our program meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month (except Nov & Dec) at 1 pm at the Kiln Library on 603N. We usually have a guild member teach a technique or project to the guild, but sometimes have a guest instructor or other activities. Come learn and have fun with us!
Sit 'N Sew
Program Meeting
Program Meeting
Sit 'N Sews are a time set aside to bring whatever you’d like to work on and sew in the company of other members, one Saturday a month from 9am-3pm at the Kiln Library on 603N. You can come for any portion of the time- this is a flexible, stress-free day! You can bring lunch or make a food run. If you can make these occasionally, it’s great fellowship and fun!
Sew 'N Draw
Program Meeting
Sew 'N Draw
Sew 'N Draws are when members come together bringing fabric (per coordinators’ instruction) and put together a quilt top in a day. Some sew, some press, some cut, some layout- the ultimate quilters’ assembly line! At the end of a day, a name is drawn from the participants and that lucky winner gets to keep the quilt top.
