Meetings

The guild holds monthly meetings which are held on the third Monday of each month , excluding December, at the Zion Lutheran Church, 600 Barnett Street, Kerrville. Doors open at 9:00 a.m., business meeting at 9:30, and program at 11:00.

Your first stop should be the membership table. It’s hard to miss, as it is placed right at the main entrance to the meeting room, and is usually surrounded by lots of people checking their name off the list.

If it is your birthday month, you will automatically be placed in the drawing for one of our two gift certificates that are donated each month by two area quilt stores.

Budget - The three major sources of income for our guild are a biennial quilt show, an annual quilt raffle and membership dues. The money is used to pay all operating expenses and to pay speakers who present monthly programs. A monthly financial statement is published in each issue of the newsletter for more detail.

Challenge - A challenge is when members are asked to make a quilt following certain restrictions.  The restriction can be a color, a fabric, a technique.  Challenges can be all sizes, from a single block to a wall hanging or full size quilt.  Our guild periodically issues a challenge, in which participation is strictly voluntary. 

Refreshments – In their birthday month, members bring desserts to share during break.  A reminder of this is in each newsletter.

Annual Luncheon Meetings- A potluck Holiday celebration is held in November, our last meeting of the year.

Library - We have an extensive library of books and tapes which may be checked out for one month.  Library additions are made through member donations and memorial book purchases.

Bring ‘n Brag - Other members would love to see your latest creation, so bring it to the meeting and show it off.  Prior to showing an item, an information slip is filled out for use by the Newsletter Editor and Historian.

Name Tag - You must wear a name tag to each meeting or pay 25 cents at the door for a stick-on name tag.

Birthday Pins - The guild presents a pin to each member in their birthday month.  Members pick up their birthday pins at the Shopkeeper’s table where pins are also for sale for personal pin collections.

Coffee Break - You are encouraged to feed the coffee kitty to help pay for supplies.  If you forget to bring your coffee cup, please drop in an additional 25 cents.
