February Guild Meeting

Another snowstorm - another postponement! However, our second attempt at this month's meeting was successful and almost 50 Guild members came out on February 12 to catch up on the Guild's comings and goings and to see what other people are up to in their  sewing space.

Though some of us keep busy sewing year round, no doubt there are some (like me) that see the advent of fall as a signal to head back to…

Are you Ready? Outdoor Quilt Day 2023

What a summer! From the dry days of April and May, to the pouring rain in June, the oppressive humidity of July and the torrential July downfall, this has certainly been one to remember.
