SDQG members meet at the crossroads in April and September for workshops, show & tell, block exchanges, trunk shows, good food and fun. A biennial quilt show features the work of beginning through master quilters with divisions for bed quilts, wall quilts, baby quilts, quilted clothing, and miscellaneous. The non-juried show includes Viewer’s Choice Awards, Quilters” Challenge, Raffle Quilt, Vendors and a Featured Quilter. The next show will be held September 19-20, 2009. Annual membership (January 1 - December 31) includes a quarterly newsletter with SDQG news, articles on local guilds, a calendar of quilting events and more.

Membership in SDQG makes a nice gift for a quilting friend’s birthday or for Christmas, and then you can attend the gatherings together. ( ) Check here if this is a gift, and we’ll send a card in your name.
