A “Sit-n-Stitch” is a group of quilters who meet regularly to work on service projects, learning and practicing quilting techniques, or working on members’ individual projects. Some groups meet in members’ homes on a rotating basis and others meet at specified locations. If you are interested in joining a sit-n-stitch group, please call Ellen Fournier or call the group’s contact person. Phone numbers are available to Guild members in the Quilters Unlimited Membership Directory. Members are encouraged to form new sit-n-stitch groups to match their quilting interests.
Notice: It is recommended that you get in touch with the contact person for a sit-and-stitch group you are interested in visiting for the first time.
