Next Meeting – February 13, 2025 (date change)

Due to a conflict with the church’s schedule, the Sew-In for Kids’ Quilts has been moved to Thursday, February 13, 2025. Sewing starts at 4:00, pizza will be served for those who come early and preorder (watch your email) and a short business meeting will be held around 7.

As this is a working meeting, there will be no show and tell.

Since January’s meeting was a zoom meeting, there will be two fat quarter drawings at this meeting. The theme for January is Fruits & Vegetables and the theme for February is Jungle Animals.

Additional details about this meeting will be sent out via email.

2024-2025 Guild Challenge Announced

The 2024 – 2025 Member Challenge has been finalized!

In 2025 our guild will have been in existence for 45 years. To honor this achievement our next member challenge will be called “Four and Five.” All members are invited to create a piece that fits the criteria below.

Projects must be 14” by 15” (in either direction) and include 4 of one thing and 5 of another. The possibilities for fulfilling this parameter are endless but the “counts” must be identifiable. Here are some examples:

  • 4 different red fabrics and 5 different green fabrics.
  • A layout of 4 blocks by 5 blocks
  • 4 bugs and 5 flowers
  • 4 books and 5 pencils
  • 4 five pointed stars
  • 4 blocks and 5 borders

… and on and on! Finished projects will be turned in at the June 5, 2025 guild meeting, our end of year picnic. We will ask participants for a verbal explanation of how they depicted four and five so we can make signs to hang alongside the entrees, which will be on display, anonymously, for attendees to vote for their favorite.


In summary – 14” by 15”, 4 of one thing and 5 of another, due at our June 5, 2025 guild meeting.
