SMALL GROUPS

Though our guild seems large at first, you can always find a small group gathering, some place, to share our love of quilting. Here is information about our current groups and their coordinators. If you are interested in starting a small group, contact the Small Group Coordinator, Mary Ann Swogger and she will be happy to help get you started.

1st Friday Sit and Stitch

Meets on the first Friday of each month at Contractor's Institute from 9:15 am to 3 pm. Come when you can—leave when you must. Bring your lunch and whatever you are currently working on. If you need help with sandwiching, please bring it along and we'll help you put it together. We like to have "Show & Tell" just prior to lunch and we often go around and introduce each other and the projects we're working on. This is a great place to socialize and meet new friends, get new ideas or share a few. You are sure to get that answer you've been looking for here. Special classes are also scheduled from time to time.

BOUTIS & MORE
