Library
Our library is for our members who have the privilege of checking out quilting related books, magazines and videos for one month. A late fee will be charged per book, per month. New books and magazines are added monthly.
Batting Sale
The guild will no longer be selling batting.
Used Book/Pattern Sale
Members may participate by bringing in their used books and/or patterns. A piece of masking tape with their name, the book/pattern title, asking price, and date submitted must be on the item. All monies will be returned to the seller at the next guild meeting. Items can be bought and sold throughout the year.
Door Prizes
There are door prize drawings at each guild meeting. All members are eligible for the door prize drawing if they are wearing their member’s badge and/or nametag. One prize per member per year.
Show and Tell
There is a “Show & Tell” time at each meeting. Members may bring completed projects to share with the guild.
Newsletter
The Laurel Star is published five times per year (Sept/Oct, Nov/Dec, Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/June). New members will have their names added to the mailing list and their name and information will be included in the next newsletter in order to keep our directory current. Members are encouraged to submit items of interest to the newsletter chairperson. Deadline for articles is usually the guild meeting prior to publication of the next edition.
Members can choose to receive their newsletter by email in PDF format by choosing the option when joining, renewing membership, or anytime by contacting the newsletter chairperson.
Our guild presents a quilt show when possible. 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.
