When We Gather

We meet on the first and third Saturdays of the month for a Sew Day. At noon on the first Saturday, we break for a guild meeting.

Dates for meetings may be changed due to holidays or conflicts. Check the Calendar page for possible changes.

We gather at the McSwain Agricultural Center at 2420 Tramway Road, Sanford, NC.

What We Do

As a non-profit organization, community service is part of our undertakings.

Victory Junction:

We donated 44 quilts for children at Victory Junction in March of 2022. We hope to break the record in 2023.

NICU:

Quilts should be 36" x 36", 100% cotton fabric, batting, and thread; please do not use minky or metalic fabric or thread.

We have provided quilts and pillowcases to organizations for use and/or to raise funds through raffles.

We have made financial donations to Hurricane Relief, Camp Royall Scholarship Fund, and collected supplies to be donated to Haven House.
