Ties, Needles and Threads Guild

Who

We are a (not for profit) group of needle work enthusiasts: quilting, crocheting, knitting, cross stitching, weaving, garment making, etc.—anything you can make with needle and thread.

What

We meet to share techniques, talk, and plan community service events. Meetings feature speakers, trunk shows, demos of needle art skills, show & tell (finished projects or seek advice), and a chance to make new friends!

Annual Guild Auction

Bring an ornament for the Senior Center Christmas Tree.

This is our only fundraiser with all proceeds going to our guild for future speakers and expenditures. We ask that each member bring at least one handmade item to contribute. It can be a food item or anything handmade. NO white elephants.
Please attach a description of your item to it. If food, please include the ingredients; if handmade, include any pattern information and/or size. This will help to move things along. Cash or checks only.
Bring family members and friends. Remember to bid high and bid often!!!

Christmas Party

Show-n-Tell, Games

This year, instead of everyone bringing something to eat, we are going to switch it up and ask that if your last name begins with the letter H to Z that you all will be the hostesses. With that being said – the theme for the Christmas dinner will be Soups, Breads/Crackers, Desserts and Appetizers.
It wouldn’t be a holiday party without a GIFT EXCHANGE. Bring a wrapped gift valued at no more than $20. It does not have to be quilt related.
