Our Guild members have the opportunity to meet every Thursday for a "Thursday Sewcial" at Mills Chapel Baptist Church from 10:00-2:00. It is a great time to share ideas and socialize while working on projects. Stop in any time and don't forget to bring a lunch. ** Note: The 2nd Thursday of every month will be dedicated to working on our Compassion quilts. Please join us.

November 2018 Craft Fair

Our November Craft Fair 2017 participation was a great success this year! Thanks to everyone for creating and donating such wonderful items!

​ It has been decided that we will participate again next year as well instead of the Opportunity Quilt.   It is the hope of the Guild that everyone contributes homemade items to sell at the booth.  Items should be brought to each guild meeting so others can view the variety and we can get an idea of the types of items everyone is making.  The proceeds from this event will be used to fund speakers, materials, and Guild activities throughout the year. We hope you will all help to make this a successful event.
