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. If you have any questions please reach out to Jody Saulnier, Margaret O'Brien or Diane Orlowski.
Trading Post Guidelines- Bring Useful Items – Contribute items you no longer need that could be valuable to someone else.

- 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.
