Congratulations to Wendy Adams, winner of the 2025 Volunteer of the Year award.
Wendy has been a major contributor in guild philanthropy efforts, donating huge quantities of fabrics and kits for charitable quilts. She made last year’s opportunity quilt, does long-arm quilting for guild members, hosts classes, supports the Tallahassee Museum as well as Sleep in Heavenly Peace, assists with our guild shows and served as door prize chair this past year.

All of this, as well as her encouragement, kindness and enthusiasm, has earned her the gratitude and appreciation of the guild.

A much-deserved award!

January Program

The January 8th program will be Kerry Cohen presenting on the Kona Color of the Year (Wander- a soft green). Kerry will hand out 5″ square samples of the fabric and make suggestions on how it can be used in your quilts.

February Program

It is my pleasure to announce the ‘Trash to Treasure Sale’ at the February 13th guild meeting. Like an indoor garage sale for quilty items (notions, fabric, scraps, patterns, etc.). Members can reserve a table in advance for $5, delivered in either cash or check (made out to Quilters Unlimited) to Tracy Wade at the January guild meeting or mailed to the guild (address below) before the night of the meeting. Please reserve your table with Tracy prior to mailing check to ensure availability.

The tables will be arranged to allow for the business meeting to still occur. Set up of sales tables will occur prior to the meeting and shopping will begin at the meeting’s end. Members that reserve a table are responsible for pricing their items before the sale, setting up and taking down their items and collecting their own monies. We will have volunteers to break down the tables.

Start gathering items now to clean out our sewing rooms!

Checks can be mailed to:
