The Guild offers guest speakers at many of our meetings. These programs are designed to educate, encourage, and inspire our members in the many and varied areas and types of quilting techniques. We invite both well-known lecturers from around the country and accomplished quilters from among our members to provide programs for us.
We also love to party and do so at least several times a year. Once a year we have a potluck dinner where we distribute our comfort quilts to the charities we support. During the summer we enjoy an ice cream social. And our Christmas parties offer games and fun activities as well as delicious Christmas themed sweets to share.
We offer workshops, which are "hands-on" opportunities to learn, under the supervision of a well- qualified instructor, specific technique(s) related to quilt construction in its many forms, They will be either be outside instructors with expertise in their specific field or technique or accomplished quilters from among our members. These are fee-based sessions and generally include demonstrations as well as written step by step instructions. You will be provided with a list of supplies and fabrics well beforehand.
Colin Gockley, who recently joined the Guild after retiring, immediately took advantage of the mentoring program to better his quilting skills. He is pictured next to his beautiful quilt-in-progress.
These are small group sessions that occur every other month. They are a special time to bring a project you are struggling with and get help from several of our experienced members. You work one-on-one with the member. You must sign up due to space limitations. They are free of charge and are very popular. They meet in the Community Room located in the Hybrid 1 Building at 1500 Wisteria Drive, Lititz on the Landis Homes campus.
