January Charity Sew-in

  • Our Annual Charity Sew-in will be held on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at PARC, from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.  Bring your lunch.  This is a great opportunity to meet other guild members.  Please join us to sew quilts for the Comfort Quilts and Veterans groups.  Ryan’s Cases for Smiles will also be there for you to sew pillowcases for their cause.

    It is important that you register for this event due to space limitations. Please sign-up at the Comfort Quilt table at our monthly meetings. If you are unable to attend meetings before the Sew-in, please contact Lee Ann Comegys.   You will need to bring the following:  sewing machine, sewing machine pedal and cords, scissors, pins, needles, and rotary cutter.  We will have irons, ironing boards and cutting mats.  If you have fabric and a pattern you would like to work on, please bring that as your project.  Kits for Comfort Quilts and Veterans Quilts can be reserved on the sign-up sheet. Fabric for pillowcases will be available.

    Please consider being a part of this annual event. It is a wonderful opportunity to create quilts and pillowcases for those in need. 

    Nothing comforts like a quilt or a cute pillowcase!

    See you then!

Spring Getaway

  • We have come to a difficult decision to postpone the Spring Getaway 2024 this year and will reschedule it in 2025.
    The hotel will be under construction this winter and it will be difficult to fill the rooms to break even. All retreats are self supported and not paid for with guild funds.
    We know some of you will disappointed but we promise another fun time in 2025! If you have any questions please contact Kelly Meanix or Stephanie Braskey.

  • More information and registration form coming nearer to the getaway.
