Activities
Guild members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities and events. Some are free and some have a nominal charge. All are optional.
Several of our activities this year are intended to result in projects that can be shown in our Quilt Show on April 29-30 2023.
These activities are all starting early in the year to allow guild members to participate in one, or more, or all of these activities.
Note: Due to the ongoing Covid situation and our lack of a Programs lead volunteer, some usual activities are not currently planned for this 2022-2023 season.
Schedule of Meetings and Activities
