Programs
Programs
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.
Workshops
Workshops
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.
Mentoring Sessions
Mentoring Sessions
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.

6:30-8:30 pm
Presenter: Jeanne Riley and Bonnie McClun
Many of you remember the huge contribution of fabrics, patterns, and UFO’s we received last year from the estate of Jane Hoar. We plan to do a tribute to her as our September 10th program meeting, with her husband Bill as our special guest. If you are working to finish one of her UFO’s or have made a quilt from some of her fabrics or her patterns, please let me know (Jeanne.riley1@gmail.com), and be sure to bring it for this meeting, so Bill can see that her fabrics are being used. This includes any of the string quilt projects started at our free Strings Workshop on New Year’s Day! Your project doesn’t have to be finished to be shown.

Program: Oct 8, Comfort Quilt Workshop, Landis Homes High Auditorium, 5:30-8:30 pm
Presenter: Jeanne Riley
This annual workshop starts an hour earlier than our other meetings to give us more time. It's famous among our members as "the shirt factory meeting" or "the sweat shop meeting", due to its assembly-line format. We start by pairing quilt tops with backs. These are then layered, machine-stitched around their edges, trimmed and turned right side out. After "faux binding" (topstitching around their edges), they are ready to be tied (or Fit To Be Tied, as we're fond of saying), or machine quilted.
Our assembly line has 8-16 sewing machines whirring constantly, with quilts at all different stages of completion everywhere in a sort of controlled chaos of members working and chatting. By the end of the meeting about 20 quilts will be completely finished, with many more ready for our members to take home and tie or quilt in the coming weeks.
Prospective members, this is a fantastic meeting for you to attend! There is something to do for every skill level, and great opportunities to get acquainted with lots of our members. We'll suck you right in...We all leave with a wonderful sense of having accomplished a great deal working together for a common cause, while playing with our favorite thing- fabric! What's not to like??
