Meetings and Events Calendar
Guild Meetings
Guild meetings are held in the SWIRCA Ivy Room on the 1st Wednesdays at 6:30 pm.  EXCEPTIONS:  December and June Dinner meetings start at 6:00 pm. 
Wednesday, October 3, Daren Redman will present "No Rules, No Rulers, Life of a Quilter".  Daren is a textile artist from Nashville, IN.  She has been juried into the prestigious Quilt National twice, created 9 Governors Arts Awards for 2016 and is a juried Indiana Artisan. 

Wednesday, November 7, Ann Lainhart will present "Hurrah for Geometrics".  Ann is a contemporary traditionalist quilter.  She bases much of her work on traditional quilt blocks, but uses modern fabrics, hand-dyes, border prints, and fussy-cutting giving her work a  contemporary feel. She has exhibited in the Vermont Quilt Festival, the New England Imates shows and the East Coast Quilters Alliance.

Our new 2018-9 officers have lots of great ideas and plans in the works.  Several more excellent teachers will give meeting lectures followed by classes the next day.  Watch here for information as it becomes available.
