Retreats have been held at Council Grove, Manhattan and Concordia, Ks, usually with one in the spring and one in the fall, depending on availability of facility.

In 2008 a trip was taken to the quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 2014 aa trip was taken to McCalls Pattern Co. in Manhattan , the K-State textile department in Manhattan and Quilt Expo in Overland Park, Ks.

In 2012 a scholarship in honor of Bev Heronemous was established to be awarded to a student at K-State who is majoring in textiles with "dyeing" fabrics. A class Bev taught many times, to adults and children.

A quilt show in conjunction with the Geary County Historical Society's annual ice cream social was first held in 2010. It has become a bi-annual event. A sesquicentennial quilt, representative of Kansas, was given to the Historical Society and a Boston Commons was donated to the Chautaqua Celebration.

Donation quilts have been given to the Veterans Hospital, Wounded Warriors, Quilts of Valor, Viet Nam Veterans, Birthline, SRS, Hospice, Birthline and Red Cross. Quilts and pillow cases were given to the Open Door. Also quilted dog beds were given to Humane Society.

The guild has given monetary donations to Geary Country 4-H/Senior Center, Dorothy Bramlage Library and Faith Lutheran Church for the generous use of their facilities for classes. Also to the Food Pantry and Salvation Army. We provided prizes and help for the quilt block contest at the county fair.

In 2015 the guild made prop quilt blocks for Quilters play at C.L. Hoover Opera House and participated in the Central Flint Hills Area Quilts of Valor 2015 project.
