Rules
Here is more information from the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame about the
project.
Here is the
ad for the show at the Arizona Historical Society. Karen Fisher's quilt is on
the ad.
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 $30 a year, from March to February. All that is needed is an interest in quilting or quilts in general. Members must join by the September 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 $5 for each meeting before becoming a member.
Workshop registration for members is available at the Guild Business Meeting (first Wednesday of the month) six 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 11/7/10
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.

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 at the top of this page 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 the Membership Director. 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 are also adding other private information for Guild members.
Email the Membership Director with your whole name and, if possible, member number, to get the current password. The Password will change for the new year at the end of March.
If you cannot see the login box in the frame at the upper left, your computer security settings may be too high. You will have to find out how to lower the settings so that the login box will show. You may also have to refresh your screen to see the newest newsletter after you login.
Newsletter Info and Ads
The deadline for newsletter content and ads will be the the second-to-last Wednesday of the month. Classified ads from Guild members and quilt related businesses for quilt related items will be accepted for the newsletter on a space available basis and at the discretion of the newsletter editor. The cost is $5.00 per member's ad with a maximum of 25 words per ad. Business ads cost $25.00 for one-eighth of a page. Ads are to be mailed to the newsletter editor with checks made payable to Tucson Quilters Guild. Include a return address so your check can be returned if your ad is not placed in the newsletter.
