All meetings including Sew-In are held at Federated Church 612 W. State St. Sycamore, IL 60178 and we encourage all members and guests to join us whenever they can.
General meetings and workshops are a fun way to meet new quilting friends and perhaps learn a few things along the way. Members are free to attend, but any guests are asked to pay $5.00 per meeting or workshop with that money going towards your yearly membership if you wish to join the guild.
Board meetings are another way for you to let us know what you would like to see happen in the guild.

She loves sharing her knowledge with others and encouraging students as they try new projects and techniques. One of her favorite aspects of teaching is seeing students succeed at completing a challenging project. Another is seeing students have “Aha!” moments during which they see how simple changes in construction technique can help them create projects that are fun to make and look great. NO recording will be allowed during the lecture. However, Carol does encourage photographs of her projects. A merchandise booth will be available – bring your money!
