Information on registration times
Registration for all classes, workshops, sew days, etc will be on the 1st Thursday of the month beginning at 8 am of the month of the event. If you don’t see an event listed, click on View Calendar below for Upcoming Events to see additional events. You will need to select each event separately. We are hoping this makes it easier for everyone. All retreat may have a different sign up date due to the costlier commitment.
Guild Meeting Set Up and Take Down
We will be setting up on Wednesday before the monthly guild meetings at 4 pm. We could use 3 or 4 sets of hands at Twisted Stitches, 405 Center Dr., Superior. After Thursday’s meeting we will put everything back to its original place. Contact Jan Antranikian, vice-president@quakingaspenquiltguild.org, if you can help.
