Community Service Night
July is COMMUNITY SERVICE MONTH at River City Quilters’ Guild when Guild members work on Community Service projects and enjoy an Ice Cream Social! There will be quilts ready to tie as well as finished quilts that need bindings and labels. We will have some hand-sewing tools available, but your own scissors and other hand-sewing supplies may be useful. Quilt kits can be stitched by those who bring sewing machines. We always have fun working with our friends to make quilts for worthy causes!
No workshop this month.

NOVEMBER WORKSHOP
November 19, 2025 (Wednesday)
 
Workshop: How to Cheat at Color
Instructor: Laurel Anderson
This class is filled with ideas for color selection using traditional and innovative tools. A syllabus is provided to fill with years’ worth of color ideas. A PowerPoint presentation is combined with small projects. No sewing is needed. The short version can fit into 3 hours without all the small projects. The 9-hour class allows for 2-3 sessions in a shop with “field trips” into the shop to select and discuss fabric colors. This workshop can last 2 days with lots of hands-on exercises and time to create your personal notebook.  MORE>
