kincardine Sunset Quilters Guild
Monthly meetings?
Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of
each month, unless otherwise stated in your
Program and run from September through to June
Once you sign in at 9:30, you can start with coffee and conversation followed by the business
meeting, which starts at 10:00 a.m. and usually
runs for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Each month we talk
about Guild projects and workshops, do
demonstrations, show each other what we are
working on, and have time to talk about methods, tips,
and social events related to sewing and quilting. The big highlight of each month is ‘Sew & Tell-what an inspiration it is to see the work of others!
Can I bring along a friend who is not a member?
We welcome guests to our meetings; there is a $4.00
charge for guests to attend and we ask that
they also wear a name tag. For workshops, guests may
sign up if space is available and they are asked to pay the regular workshop fee plus an additional $5.00 as nonmembers. We hope to welcome many guests and wish them an enjoyable experience at
our Guild events
Membership Fee $35
UFO ? UnFinished Objects (of course)
Year round, on Monday 9:30-3:30, at St. Anthony’s
Church, each member can bring in their own projects to work on or ask questions about quilting.
This is our UFO (UnFinished Objects) Club.
Also, there will be workshops offered during the year that deal with a variety of skills. You are welcome to sign up
and participate in these workshops. For Members, the
usual cost is $20.00 per workshop plus materials.
However, please note that the cost may increase if we
bring in specialized workshop leaders who travel from
greater distances to provide certain requested workshops.
New to Quilting?
What do I have to do? We invite you to take part in all, or any, of the activities that interest you. There
are lots of varied activities and we welcome all members,
regardless of their skill level. Wear a smile, tote your mug for
coffee, wear your name tag, enjoy the fun of quilting and don't be afraid to ask questions or for help. We're there for the
joy of fabric and quilting it into wonderful final projects – just enjoy the process!
How can I be involved in Guild planning and projects?
Talk with the people you meet and show your interest. In May, the Past Presidents hold nominations for various Executive
and Committee positions; if you are interested, volunteer to
help out. We try to plan our programs and workshops
according to the ideas expressed by the membership in our
spring survey. This New Member Guide was a suggestion
from one of our annual surveys and we hope that it has
helped you become a bit more familiar with our Guild and how it operates.
