One of the most fun meetings at our guild was "Quilt Bingo". We were supposed to make and bring our own "cards" using 2 1/2" squares. Black (free) in the center, first row red/pink, second yellow/orange, third green, fourth blue, fifth purple. various themes, floral, novelty, metallic, stripe/plaid, dots, ect. Then the bingo numbers called were "red stripe" or "blue floral" ect. There were donated prizes for getting bingo. After the game, all the cards were gathered up and they made charity quilts with them (sashed with black, stunning). There were even extra blocks made that you could buy one to play if you didn't make any to bring, and you could play as many as you made/bought. It was a blast.
We usually have a speaker at our meeting, and there is a program committee that arranges it. If you are a small guild, try to use your members (or local quilt shop owners) for programs. Surely someone collects antique quilts, or can demonstrate a technique they have learned. We generally do not have a December meeting but a potluck is always popular. How about a "quilty" item gift exchange with a $$ limit, just number them and draw numbers.
