End of Guild Year Celebration – June 5, 2025
We’ve reached the end of another wonderful year full of workshops, challenges, inspiration and new friends. Our traditional end-of-the-year potluck dinner will be held at the South Schenectady Fire Department Pavilion, 6 Old Mariaville Rd, Rotterdam. “Doors” open at 6:00 pm, with dinner starting at 6:30.
Bring an item to share, and an appropriate serving utensil, based on the first letter of your last name as follows:
- A-F bring dessert
- G-L Main dish
- M-R side dish
- S-Z bring beverages, ice tea, lemon aide, water, stuff such as that (soda is not popular)
If you would like to keep with tradition, bring your own place setting. A limited supply of disposable plates, napkins, cups, and flatware will be available for those who would like the convenience. Plenty of picnic table seating is available but feel free to bring your own lawn chair if you prefer.
It’s time to renew (or join!) membership for the 2025-2026 guild year. The membership dues remain at $30 for the 2025-2026 guild year, which runs September through June.
You can renew at the June meeting. Please print, fill out and bring this membership application, along with $30 (cash, or check made out to “QUILTS”) to the next guild meeting: Q.U.I.L.T.S. 2025-2026 Membership Application
You can also provide your membership information online and pay with PayPal (or send a check). If you would like to use the online option, here is the link: 2025-2026 Online Membership Form
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the June meeting!

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.
