The guild started in Sept 1984, thus 2009-2010 is our guild's 25th anniversary.
The guild is open to new members - we welcome anyone who is a quilter or would like to learn about quilting. We have members from all over the Upper Ottawa Valley. The guild offers presentations by guest teachers, a well stocked quilting library, the opportunity to participate in a mystery quit, a charity quilt, Secret Sisters, and Show and Tell.
We meet monthly on the third Tuesday of each month (Except July/Aug/Dec) at the Pembroke Outdoor Sportsman's Club on County Road 26 (Doran Road). Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting starts at 7pm.
Membership fees are $25 per year but if you join in September you pay $20. New members only pay $20 in their first year.
Raffle tickets for this quilt will likely go on sale sometime in the fall. Contact Laura Boksman for information.

Secret Sisters assignments were handed out at the October 2009 meeting. If you didn't get yours, contact Laura Boksman.
Please note - if you are participating in Secret Sister this year, if you cannot give a gift for all the occasions, talk to the organizer (Laura Boksman). A few people were quite disappointed last year, because they didn't receive a gift on their birthday or on Christmas.
