In-Meeting Activities

Block of the Month
The 2024 BOM gives you a new design and a new challenge each month.   A new, original and fun, pattern and clear instructions are  provided each month for a fee of $2 per month or $22 for the whole year . . . such a deal! This year you will use your own fabric and color choices and keep what you complete.  It's an original design by our member Maryanne Paveglio.

Free Stuff
We have a ‘Free Stuff’ area for quilt-related items that you no  longer want, such as patterns, orphan blocks, fabrics, etc. Just bring  your items to the meeting and put them in the ‘Free Stuff’ area. During  the meeting someone might look at your donation and see a treasure.  Please check after break to see if your donation was taken . If not,  please take it home; you can always bring it back next month. Any free  stuff left after the meeting will be discarded.

Get ‘Er Done (GED)
Do you have unfinished projects needing  your attention?  Want some motivation for finishing one or more of  them?  To participate in our 2024 GED!  Simply complete a GED list of up to 6 unfinished  projects, easiest listed first, include your name and email, and keep  the bottom half for your reference.  You may download the form below.  Give us your list, along with a  participation fee of $15 for the year, so we can keep track of your progress and enter your  name for a drawing.  Every other month, we will draw a project number  that you are tasked with finishing by a future date.  Bring proof of  completion at the designated meeting and you’ll be eligible for a prize  drawing.  For questions or more information, contact Alice Gentry.

Library
The Guild maintains a library of quilting books for members’ use. Guild  members can check out up to three books a month, which are due back at  the following guild meeting.

Sew and Sew Raffle
At each meeting, the Sew and Sew Raffle committee presents fabric,  books, patterns, and other quilt-related treasures for which members and  guests can purchase tickets.  There are also quarterly prizes drawn from among those who purchased monthly tickets.

Show and Tell

During a portion of our monthly general meetings, members have an  opportunity to share their quilts in a Show and Tell moment.  We love to see what our members have been making!  

Snacks
What’s our favorite activity? Quilting. What’s our second favorite  activity? Snacking. At every meeting, we ask certain members to bring  finger-food snacks for guild members to enjoy. They need to be brought  to the kitchen by 8:45am on the morning of the meeting. Please be sure to  sign in to let us know who brought what.  There is a Hospitality  schedule and members are notified by email in advance when it's their turn.
