Philanthropy
Join us every third Saturday of the month for a Philanthropy Sew, where we work on various projects for groups such as Project Linus, Hugs Foster Family Agency and wounded service members at the nearby military hospitals.
Each meeting will be held at the Temecula Valley Sewing Center, 28780 Old Town Front Street, Temecula, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Motivated quilt-makers are welcome to stay longer.
Please contact me if you’re interested in helping, or if you have any questions.
Hope to see you there!

Block of the
Month
Welcome to Block of the Month for 2008!
We are going to do every block in scraps! What a great way to use up all
those little pieces of fabric. Super easy, the patterns are perfect for
beginners or experts with tons of scraps. Each month, a different pattern will
be included in the newsletter, or you can get a pattern at the guild
meeting.
Just make as many blocks as you want and turn them in each month. We will
have a drawing for the winner of submitted blocks at each guild meeting. Each
month, we’ll hold back one block for philanthropy, and at the end of the year,
they’ll have enough for a quilt top.
The only requirement on the blocks is that the background pieces be a neutral
or beige fabric.
Merchandise
Purchase tickets and select the item that you would like to win. At the
end of the meeting the tickets will be drawn. The more tickets you purchase the
better your odds are of winning.
Monthly
Mini
Purchase tickets for the opportunity to win the
monthly mini. The monthly mini is made by a guild member and they are absolutely
fantastic.
Library
Library materials will be loaned to members for one month.
Library materials will be available at each general meeting.
The Library
has books, patterns and magazines.
Door Prizes
Members bring door prizes to the meeting during their birthday
month. Members also bring a snack during their birthday month.
Hospitality
Water & snacks will be available at all general guild meetings.
Friendship
Groups
Friendship Groups are forming all the time. Please
contact the chairperson if you are interested in joining a friendship group.
