Our
Guilds’ goal is to promote and perpetuate the art of quilting.
In carrying out this purpose, the guild is intended to benefit and
educate those interested in preserving, continuing and maintaining such
art. Visitors welcome - $5 guest fee.

NEWSLETTER
- A monthly newsletter is sent to all members electronically, unless the
member wants it sent by US mail. Newsletters
sent by US mail are an additional $8.00 per year.
Information for the next newsletter is due by the day of the guild board
meeting.
SMALL
GROUPS
- There are various small groups that meet to work on
individual and group projects. This is a great way to get to know other guild
members better.
GUILD LIBRARY - To access the Gwinnett Quilters Guild Lending Library, go Guild Library List. If you would like to borrow a book, please send me an email ( check members directory) and I will bring it to the next meeting. There are just a few rules to follow. Please limit your choices to two and please return your selection at the following monthly meeting. If more information is needed about the books on the website list, a simple web search on Google or Yahoo, typing in the title and author, will usually give you several sites with pictures and book content. Or contact me for more info. Linda Kelley
RAFFLE

The “Birthday Raffle” items are donated by the Guild members that
have a birthday that month. Tickets
for these raffle items are 4 for $1.00. Our
other raffle is sponsored by the Guild. Tickets

“Just
for You” QUILT PROJECT - This is one of our major Community Service
Projects. Every year, we create
quilts for children that are patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta -
Scottish Rite Hospital. When a child
(ages birth to 18 yrs.) arrives for major surgery, long term treatment, or other
serious illnesses, they are given a quilt to keep; something to comfort them
during a very difficult time. We
have been supporting this cause since 2001.
The first year we made 70+ quilts and last year, we topped 400 !!!
Typically, the May program is devoted to showcasing all the quilts that
have been worked on throughout the year.
SHOW
AND TELL - This monthly event showcases the work of our guild members.
The event is lead off by a “Quilter of the Month”.
This person is determined by the random selection of a numbered spool.
The spools are available at the Membership Desk where members sign in.
The spool that is selected leads off Show and Tell next month.
