July - Round Robin
Monthly Meetings
Where: The Tucson Quilters Guild is located in Tucson, Arizona. Our meetings are held at St. Frances Cabrini Church, 3201 East Presidio, Tucson, Arizona. The church is located one block south of Ft. Lowell and one block east of Country Club.
When: We meet on the second Wednesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. I recommend that quilters get to the meeting by 9:00 a.m. for a seat. We also meet the Tuesday night before the Wednesday meeting at the same place. This will make it easier for members to attend our meetings. They will have the same speaker and events. Start time for the evening meeting is 7:00 p.m. Workshops are from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Who: The public is welcome to join our guild, dues are $25 a year, from March to February. All that is needed is an interest in quilting or quilts in general. Members must join by the October meeting in order to be able to hang a quilt in our show which is held each January and members must work at least one shift at the quilt show. Guests pay $3 for each meeting before becoming a member.
Workshop registration for members is available at the Guild Business Meeting (first Wednesday of the month) several months prior to the workshop and also at the Guild General Meetings (second Wednesday morning of the month and the Tuesday night before the Wednesday meeting). Payment in full is due at the time of the sign-up. Workshops run from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.Here are the Program Basics and Workshop Guidelines-updated 4/6/2009
The Guild Business Meeting is held the first Wednesday of every month at 9:30am in the classroom building of St. Frances Cabrini Church, 3201 E. Presidio.

Guild Newsletters
If you get the newsletter on the web and would like to have your name removed from the mailing list so you no longer get the newsletter in the mail, email Colleen Babcock at membership@TucsonQuiltersGuild.com. This will save the guild money for newsletter distribution.
This username and password box will be the guild's way to access the newsletters and other member-only information for Guild members only. Unfortunately, ads may popup and the only way to get rid of them is for the guild to pay for the service. Just be careful and don't click on the ad except to close it. The username and password are available from Doris Wells. She may send out an email with the username and password to get the newsletter here. Please check at the beginning of each month to see if the new one is here. I put a little note below the login box with the latest newsletter. The newsletter is also available the old way, via the US Mail. Viewing it here on the website will not use any email space. We hope to add other private information for Guild members.
