Meetings are held the 2nd Saturday of the month at the Lakeport Senior Center with the exception of October when we feature our annual quilt show.
The central focus of monthly guild meetings are programs which may include an educational guest speaker, trunk show, technique demonstrations, slides, or movies. Just a few of the other activities during the general meeting are Show and Tell, Treasure Chest raffle and a pot luck buffet. There is no cost to attend. Members leave inspired and eager to pursue their quilting passion. Visitors are welcome for 2 meetings at no cost. General Meeting and Program
