Quilt Show and Raffle

Our guild presents a quilt show every other year. The show features over 200 quilts made by our members. We also have a boutique of hand-made items for sale, small quilt sale, vendor mall, door prizes, featured quilter and a raffle for a full-size hand-made quilt.

Bus Trip

During the years we do not have a quilt show we sponsor a bus trip to various regions of the United States, visiting areas that feature unique quilt shops as well as other shopping and sight seeing that would be of interest to our members.
