In 2002 4 of us started a guild we just wanted to share our quilting with others and make it a fun social time. We are not part of a national guild and are quite informal. We have made donation quilts,chemo caps, mystery quilts,And once a year we do a group project. One year it was an angel wallhanging another time we did a snowman wallhanging.We have also taught a beginner rail fence. We are now completing a D9P.We have many younger quilters and every year we have more.We do a BOM each meeting it is explained and brought back next month for a show and tell.We also do a FQ draw ( 3 for $1.00 tickets) the money made from this goes to buy FQ for the next months FQ draw.To start this or group of 4 donated FQ from our stash This draw is a hi point in our meetings. Dues are $20.00 and when we taught courses we put the money back in the guild. A lot of our new quilters are making a sampler with the BOM blocks some are scrappy and others chose color co-ordinated. Next month we are doing ironing mats so they will learn machine quilting sandwiching and how to make and sew binding.We have about 22 members and that is a lot for the small community I live in.Also 2 of the first 4 are here now!
