I know I could get a couple of trunk shows lined up. What other kind of things are done for programs. Any ideas will be taken seriously. We also have a fabric dying program scheduled and another speaker so far. I will still need 10 however. You help is appreciated
Hello juliasb, I know your posting was from 2019, but thought I'd add my 2¢ worth. with about 28 members, our guild signs up for one month (one or two each month) for a program. andwe take turns. Our leader keeps track of the monthly volunteers and their subject topics.
Our programs do NOT have to be about sewing or quilting... could be a travelogue; music inspired; terminology; history of machines; etc. ALSO, a test (no grading) on quilt terms; all sorts of quilt tools; procedures; different ways to make HSTs or flying geese, etc. Good luck.
