WHAT'S NEW ON THE WEBSITE
- If you make a Quilt of Valor, we'd like you to pin a status label to the back so Troop Support can keep track of them. Labels are on the Community Outreach page, under Troop Support.
VISITING OPPORTUNITY QUILTS
We love to see Opportunity Quilts from other guilds and support them by purchasing tickets. We have lists of who's scheduled to bring their quilt to our guild meetings for the next couple of years on our Contacts page.
FIFTH WEEK COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK DAY
Our next date will be Thursday, April 30, 2026, 9 am to 2pm. We meet at the Shepherd of the Sierra Presbyterian Church, 5400 Barton Road, Loomis. Bring your sewing machine and a potluck item; everything else is provided (irons, ironing boards, cutting mats, rotary cutters, thread, kits, pin-basted quilts, etc,). It's a great way to meet other members as well as to contribute to our Community Service effort. Contact: Cathy Urbanus
MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
We continue membership renewals for the 2025-2026 membership year, which started on July 1, 2025. You can find more information and a fillable membership form on our About Us page. If you didn't renew by the end of July, you weren't in the new roster. There is a new form for Renewing Members and a separate form for New or Returning Members.
ZOOM MINI GROUP
We have a mini group, open to all, that meets via Zoom every Tuesday at 2pm. The group focuses on Missouri Star tutorials. We watch a part, go away to do what Jenny tells us, then come back and watch the next step. We share what we’re working on and have learned a lot of new techniques. Contact: Jen Luton
