Classes & Workshops
From time to time, the guild offers classes, usually through a speaker or member. A typical class costs $45 (less when taught by a member). Other guilds in our area also have speakers and workshops that may be of interest to our members, and many welcome non-members in any class that is not full...as do we. If you belong to another guild, you are welcome to attend any class that is not already full for the same price as one of our members. Our guild policies regarding workshops can be found here.
UFO Challenge
It's not too late to join the UFO challenge! Your next finished project is due at the April meeting. Every six months we have a drawing for bigger prizes for those of you who have completed at least three UFOs in the previous six months. For the first three projects completed, you will get a ticket for the semi-annual drawing. If you get six or more projects completed, you will get two tickets for the big drawing. We're hoping that helps motivate you to get your projects done! Happy sewing!

Mercy Retreat
Twice a year 15-20 members travel to the Mercy Retreat Center in Auburn for a long weekend of sewing and fun. This is a great alternative for those who don’t want to travel far, who need to go home for pets or family, or who can’t take the altitude at Lake Tahoe. They offer private rooms, good food, a nice sewing area, great camaraderie, and a wonderful setting. The cost for February was $395.
Upcoming dates for Mercy Retreats:
2025 Tuesday 9/2/2025 - Friday 9/21/2025
