Zoom "Sit and Sew" Circle (via Zoom)
Meets on Zoom: Tuesdays, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
(Except the 3rd Tuesday of the month which is Guild night)
Neighborhood quilt circles are small groups of quilters that meet regularly to quilt and enjoy each other’s company. Some circles meet in homes and alternate hosting each other, while some groups find a meeting place, such as a community center or church. Some neighborhood circles use the opportunity to learn new techniques or to help each other. Others challenge each other to do special projects for the guild, community groups, or for themselves. ALL POSTED CIRCLES ARE OPEN TO MEMBERS

YOU CAN START A CIRCLE
If you haven’t had the opportunity to be part of a Neighborhood Circle Group now is your chance. We have a number of existing Circle Groups and if there isn’t one that fits your needs we can look into starting some new groups.
