| The
Paintbrush Piecers Quilt Guild is a group of
about 50 active
members who share a love of quilting and all it entails. Generally the members meet
in a restaurant in the area before each meeting for dinner and fellowship. Several
potluck dinners are held during the year. Special activities include the following:
- Bring & Brag - Members are
encouraged to bring their projects to meetings to show to other members.
- Challenge - A yearly
challenge is offered by the Challenge committee. The Challenge quilts
are usually displayed at the Cody Arts
League in the Spring. In 2012, however, a new approach was
taken. See the Challenge link, above for more information.
- Newsletter - The Guild
newsletter is published once a month and emailed to members.
Contact Linda MacDonald if you have anything you would like to see included in the newsletter.
- Round Robin - The 2012
Round Robin quilts will begin in April.
- Workshops - These may
be service workshops to put raffle quilts together. Quilts are
then given to the hospitals and local charities.
- Secret sisters - Secret sisters
are picked from those wishing to participate. Small gifts/letters are exchanged
throughout the year until the Secret sister is revealed in January.
The Paintbrush Piecers Quilt Guild
was founded in 1985 by several friends who have watched the club grow to over
50 members. |
