Guild Membership Meetings ... are held both in-person at the Belknap Mill Society in downtown Laconia and on Zoom the second Wednesday of each month. An email invitation with a Zoom link and instructions is sent prior to each meeting to guild members and guests. Our monthly meetings open with snacks and social time beginning at 6 p.m. (unless otherwise noted), followed by a presentation at 6:45 p.m., with the business meeting to follow. Time permitting, meetings conclude with show and tell. Monthly meetings are held at the Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia, NH.
December 10, 2024: Our annual holiday banquet at Hart’s Turkey Farm takes the place of the December membership meeting. Please note: Due to scheduling at Hart’s, the banquet is held on Tuesday instead of Wednesday (like our regular monthly meetings). There is no December general membership meeting as we hold our annual holiday banquet at Hart’s Turkey Farm the same week. Holiday Dinner:

January, 12, 2025: We have an upcoming Half-Day Zoom Workshop that promises to be a lot of fun, and will enable us to create artful fabrics to use in our quilts. Dyeing fabrics was mentioned many times on our recent Membership Survey so it is hoped that this offer will intrigue many of us! SUPER-EASY MARBLING on FABRIC is scheduled to be held on Sunday, January 12th, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. There is a possibility that this workshop might be switched to Saturday, January 11, but I am awaiting date confirmation from Gunnel Hag. 2024 Winners of Baskets Galore

Block of the Month: Are you looking for a new challenge?
Guild members can find more information including patterns, and hopefully soon we will have pictures to share with you of guild members progress! To access these resources sign in to the members side of this website by clicking LOG IN in the upper right hand corner. If for come reason you can not access these page please email me at [email protected] You have just found it. We have an exciting new Block of the Month (BOM) just for you. This will be the “opposite” from the previous two BOMs. You will make two blocks each month, presented in October, November, January, February, March, and April. The Big Reveal will be at the May membership meeting. Only the top needs to be done by May. There will be enough time for you to finish your quilt and get it registered for the 2025 Quilt Show in the BOM category. You will also have the option to complete a “mini” version of each block. |
Our Guild is now an “Industrial Educator” for the Belknap Mill.
This means we have formed a partnership with the Mill, and will hold all of our meetings, some of our Sit & Sews, and in-person classes at the Mill. They have refurbished the third floor, and it is beautiful. There is an elevator, a kitchenette, hardwood floors, a countless number of electrical outlets, plenty of lighting, a built-in sound system, and lots of furniture. We will continue to work with the Mill to offer great programming for the Lakes Region. It is a distinct pleasure to be “going home,” back to the location of our very first meetings in 1978. We look forward to a great partnership. |
