Meetings are usually held on the Fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm on the second floor of the Benton County Historical Museum, 1101 Main St. Philomath, OR. A social time begins at 6:30 pm.

Many of our members serve on several committees according to their interests. Various subgroups also meet during the month according to their particular interests in quilting.

Additional information about the Guild is available on our website.

Each year the guild awards up to three scholarships of $100 each in the name of Joanne Cutler Hay. These scholarships are awarded to a guild member to further her education in quilting. In return the guild member is expected to make a presentation to the guild or hold a workshop to share what she has learned.

Secret Sister is an activity designed to let guild members know one other member very well throughout the year. Those wishing to participate fill out a form in January. The following month they receive the name of their secret sister. Gifts are given secretly and the following December participants learn the name of their "Secret Sister."

Hospitality Drawings are other ways members can learn about other guild members. At each meeting we have a drawing for all people and guests.

"Show and Tell" is a highlight of each guild meeting. Members share the quilts they have made. Quilts made by the Service Committee are shown as well. Quilts put together from the guild stash are of special interest to see the creative ways members have assembled quilts from the packets.
