Guild Calendar
- Visit the BMQG Trading Post!
The Guild would like to offer our Members a place to Trade, Swap or Give Away gently loved quilting items. This new "Trading Post" is replacing our Fat Quarter & 2 1/2" swap that took place at our monthly meeting. Below are suggested items for the Trading Post and Guidelines in we hope you will all review to make it a success. Our Members at Large will be overseeing this wonderful opportunity.
Trading Post Guidelines- Bring Useful Items – Contribute items you no longer need that could be valuable to someone else.
- Label Your Items – Clearly write your name on each item before placing it on the Trading Post table.
- Quality Matters – Ensure all items are in good condition—only bring items you would be happy to receive yourself.
- Take Responsibility for Unclaimed Items – If any of your items remain at the end of the meeting, you must take them back.
- Item Limit – Each person may bring up to two items per meeting.
- Free for Members – You may take an item even if you didn’t contribute one.
- Fabric – Suitable for quilting or garment-making (100% cotton for quilting or labeled with content for garments).
- Books & Magazines – Related to crafts, sewing, or other creative hobbies.
- Rulers & Cutting Mats – Useful for precise measuring and cutting.
- Tools – Small hand tools or accessories that others may find useful.
