2022 Meetings, Programs and Fun Events:
February 21
Get to Know your Program Chairs – Beth Wright and Barb Bredemeier
We’re looking forward to a trunk show from our program co-chairs, Beth Wright and Barb Bredemeier, as we hear about their quilting journeys and get to know them better!
Monday, March 7 — Special Event
Big Red Quilters’ Guild and Herrick District Library are partnering to celebrate National Quilting Month in March 2022.
- We’ll be the “experts’ in numerous Quilt Artist in Residence events at the main library throughout the month, as well as offering a Bed Turning/Trunk Show highlighting Guild member quilts on Monday, March 7.
- Herrick Library would also love to have some quilts displayed in the library during the month. Stay tuned for more information on how you can help by having some of your treasured quilts included in the bed turning and display, as well as with other assistance that may be needed throughout the month.
- With your help, we can really help spread the word about our Guild to the community, and perhaps gain even more quilters!
