West Sound quilters activities...
West Sound Quilters hosts retreats in Spring and Fall each year at Seabeck Conference Center. Mini-groups also host retreats throughout the year at a variety of venues.
There are more than a dozen mini-groups within our guild. Some are just a group of close friends. Others have a focal purpose such as applique', wearable arts, long-arm quilting or machine embroidery.
There is at least one annual Challenge, different every year.
There is a block-of-the-month (BOM) program these days. Instructions are given for each month's blocks. At the end of the year you will have blocks to make a quilt. There is also a fat quarter drawing each month for those who brought in fat quarters. Each month there is a specific theme.
We regularly bring in nationally known artists for programs during our monthly meetings. Sometimes these artists also provide classes in their particular expertise.
To sustain our level of desired activities, we also raise money by raffling off a professionally-finished quilt. Members are expected to sell or buy at least $10 worth of $1 tickets. See this year's raffle quilt here.
