Guild Information

Our Guild Meetings

Our business year runs from September to August, with meetings in all months except July and August (for summer break) and then December (for a Christmas activity).  We meet in the Taylor Auditorium, inside the Taylor Health Sciences Building at 1526 East Medical Center Drive in St. George, Utah.  Our meetings give us a time to meet for Guild business, have a program on quilting, and time for members to ‘Show & Tell’ their recent projects.  Membership offers many benefits (see below), including opportunities to meet others, join a Friendship Group, and serve as a volunteer in Guild positions. Visitors are welcome at our meetings.

Activities & Events Overview

There are activities for everyone, designed to provide learning experiences and fun for our members.

Monthly Meetings

The Guild has a meeting most months of the year.  Our fiscal year runs from September to August, with our Fall meeting in September and a Christmas Luncheon in December.  We do not have meetings in July or August.  Meetings are held at the Taylor Health Sciences Bldg., Taylor Auditorium, 1526 East Medical Center Drive, St. George.

Show & Tell

A part of each Guild Meeting is a Show and Tell where members can bring a quilt or project they have worked on to show off to others in the Guild.  It is amazing to see the beautiful quilts, wall hangings, bags, and other items that members of the Guild create.

Sew Simple Retreat

Each year, members of  the Guild go to Springdale, Utah, for a fun retreat.  We lodge in a hotel and have a great time quilting together.  This retreat is an excellent opportunity to spend quality time quilting and have fun with fellow Guild members.  The annual Retreat is usually held in February, with information announced in the Fall during Guild meetings and is also published in the Newsletter.

Philanthropy Group

Guild members can participate monthly in our Philanthropy program.  All donated materials are clean and organized in a central location.  There, members can participate in all aspects of creating quilts for various local charities.  Members can also complete kits at home that are produced by the Philanthropy group and made available at Guild meetings.  These quilts vary in size and range in skill level from beginner to advanced. 

Workshops

Workshops are available to all Guild members at a nominal cost, payable at the time of registration.  Some months, the workshops are geared towards beginning quilters, and some are for the more advanced.  All Guild members are welcome regardless.  The workshop is designed to be a fun social gathering and an opportunity to learn from one another.  A great day of learning and fun with friends.

Friendship Groups

Friendship Groups consist of members in our Guild who get together monthly to socialize and/or work on projects. Groups typically consist of 6 to 10 quilters. The Group decides when to meet and what they want to work on when together. Some groups do show-and-tell and share what they have learned. The members of these groups often become good friends and frequently expand their activities beyond quilting.  Inquire about joining a Friendship Group for a great way to socialize and learn from other quilters.

Charitable Opportunities

Guild members collaborate with local charities and organizations to support those in need beyond our immediate area. We have supported Sew Much Hope, Hobbs Charity and other giving programs. Our Philanthropy group, noted in this section, is also a large charity organization. Members can participate in and support charity functions in various ways.

Charitable Opportunities

Hobbs Batting Charity Program

Hobbs provides free batting for charitable purposes. Please save your UPC labels from packages of Hobbs batting and turn them into Bruce Bussey or Susan Mapston to be used for philanthropy. Visit the Hobbs Batting website.

Sew Much Hope Charity

From their website SewMuchHope.org: We work to outfit durable machines from the 1940s—1950s, with hand cranks or treadles to be used in rural communities without access to electricity.

Anyone wishing to donate a machine to Sew Much Hope can take it to Rene Hall’s home at 1075 S 960 E. Enter from 900 South and go down the lane to the end where you will see a box for UPS & FedEx. You may leave your donation in that box and Rene will make sure that they are picked up by the driver for the charity.
