Our guild has bylaws for programs/classes that pertain to the cost of any program over $100, must be voted on by guild members present at the meeting. The majority rules. We have an upcoming program on dying fabrics presented at a local quilt shop.
We have had a color theory class presented by a member. Our members donate their time to present programs and aren't paid.
We have a Nov. social where we bring covered dishes and enjoy our quilty friendships. We just had a Christmas in July meeting where we made no sew Christmas ornaments using fabric. I would say the ornaments aren't True quilting projects, but involve fabric, which all quilters like.
