Small Groups of Calico Cut-Ups Quilt Guild members meet on their schedule throughout the month to quilt together. These quilters enjoy the time together to work on and compare projects and help one another with new ideas, etc. As new members join the Guild, small groups are formed based on interest. There are currently eight small groups meeting monthly. They are listed below. Contact Mary Lange Kalin, marylangekalin@gmail.com or the listed contact person for the individual group you are interested in.
Unless otherwise noted the small groups meet at the St. Theodore’s Episcopal Church, 1001 Kingsland Road, in Sengel Hall which is located on the lower level. There are tables, plugins, and great lighting. You need to bring your supplies and can either bring your sewing machine or request the use of a Guild machine if your meeting is held at St. Theodore’s Sengel Hall. The contact person listed will be responsible for getting you a machine from storage to use.
Occasionally, the groups choose to move their regularly scheduled meeting to other dates. If you are new to the group, please be sure to reach out to the contact person to check their schedule.
