Marin Needle Arts Guild
P.O. Box 6015, San Rafael, CA 94903

The Marin Needle Arts Guild brings together quilters, needle artists and fiber artists.
Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in the Needle Arts.

Our goal is to promote the Needle Arts through education. This year, 2010, we are concentrating our efforts on helping new members learn 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.

We also sponsore junior group, MSC4Kids, (Marin Sewing Club for Kids) . Initially the group will be meeting at doodlebug of Marin, in San Anselmo. We have received a great response from the community and look forward to working with the children and mentoring them as they learn new skills related to fiber arts. This will lay the foundation they need to care on the traditions we all love.

Beginning Quilt Class(es) starting April 17th. Bring your machines, rotary cutter, cutting mat and scrap fabrics. Class will be held at Aldersgate Church, Social Hall. In this class you will learn the process of beginning a quilt; how to cut the fabric, create the blocks and sew it together. To reserve your place in the class, please complete and submit the reservation form.

 

There are always Outreach projects to work on, a few are listed below:

    • Quilts to be donated to the community
    • Activity Blankets to make for hospitals
    • Knitted scarves for the Veterans
    • Quilts being created and sent to returning Veterans
    • Socks & Mittens for children to have in the winter months.
