Seven groups

Monthly Meetings

Our monthly meetings are one of a kind — or maybe seven. The Guild runs open Stitch-Ins and specialty Special Interest Groups every month. Members are welcome to attend as many as they like.

Your first visit to any meeting is always free.

Our groups

Stitch-Ins welcome any technique and skill level. Special Interest Groups focus on a particular discipline. All members are welcome at any group, any month — attend as many as you like at no extra cost, and you're always free to work on your own project, whatever the group's focus.
