February 2013 Guild Meeting
The February Guild Meeting is one of our more “social” meetings. Guild members gather in groups to tie quilts which we then donate to Northern Rivers Family Services (formerly Northeast Parent & Child.) This meeting is a great experience for our new members, as they get to meet and chat with others who share their hobby. Our experienced members are always willing to share skills and teach new quilters how to tie a quilt. Once a quilt is tied, volunteers take them home to finish the quilts with bindings and bring them back at a future guild meeting for Show & Tell and donation to Northern Rivers.
A special thank you goes out to Gloversville Sewing Center, who graciously donates the battings for these quilts each year.
