ACTIVITIES

Member Opportunities

Guild Bees

Bee Hives are small groups of guild members who meet regularly in a quilting bee in members’ homes, or another location chosen by the individual bee, for informal quilting and idea sharing.  The guild keeps a listing of current bees and their members and contact persons. The beekeeper maintains a record of available openings for new members and helps any member get a bee started and on track. The beekeeper is also responsible for contacting and coordinating the bees as needed for guild activities.  We currently have several active bee hives.   If you are interested in more information about our bee hives, contact the Bee Keeper, Pam Smith.

Partner/Mentor Program
Partner/Mentor Program

The guild partner/mentor programs purpose is to support and encourage new quilters by partnering a less experienced quilter with one of our more seasoned quilting members.  If you are interested in participating in this program as either a Mentor or a Partner, please let one of our leadership team members know.

Outreach Projects
