Our goal is to promote the Needle Arts through education. This year, 2012, we are continuing our efforts to build our membership and teach others a variety of skills. There will be workshop classes the 3rd Saturday of most months. Members are always available to help anyone interested in learning a new skill, or improving their techniques. Beginners are encouraged to come join us for a fun filled day of learning and productivity.
Our 2012 Opportunity Quilt is waiting in the wings to be unveiled. Come see what the guild did this year with Asian Fabrics. Picture coming soon!
We are continuing what we started in 2011 working with Broadway Quilts and American Legion Volunteers from Sonoma the guild making quilts, pillowcases, caps and other items that are delivered to the troops. Quilts are designed for the wounded and are delivered from Travis AFB to Afghanistan. The goal is for every wounded soldier to receive a quilt as they begin their journey home. These quilts are a specific size, 45" x 81" (gurney size). Samples of some of the donated items can be found on Wounded Warrior page. The American Legion sends care packages to the troops several times a month; there is a box at Broadway Quilts where folks can drop off personal items (soaps, lotions, pocket books, cards, candy, gum, mints etc.) that will be distributed to the troops.
