Our guild has done most of the above items and we also have a "secret stitcher" program where we draw names and you make or purchase small gifts for that person for six months. You only need to supply three or so gifts so it doesn't have to be every month. We also have several work nights a year where we make quilts for the neonatal nursery or make cancer hats for the cancer center which are then given away. We have made quilts for many different causes and our programs consist of trunk shows, quilt shops that are willing to bring and demonstrate for us and we can purchase items that they bring to sell. Once or twice a year we pay for a well known teacher to come and spend an evening with us and teach us new ways to do quilts. We have an extensive library where you can check out books for use in your home. There are usually free items brought by the members that they don't want any more, which can be patterns, books, magazines, scraps, notions, etc. This helps our newer members or those on fixed incomes (or amy member) to take whatever they want. There are often demos on new notions, better ways of making specific blocks, etc. There are a few members who meet separately and quilt on their own for themselves or each other or just for charity. It has been a wonderful resouce for 25 years now.
