I love Guild Meetings because ...

Good Company
There's nothing like the busy hum of around 100 ladies (and an occasional man) chatting and sharing
There is so much skill, knowledge and expertise for you to tap into
You meet new people and catch up with friends from all over the Greater Geelong area
(and other places including Bacchus Marsh, Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne suburbs)

Show & Tell
There's always lots to see and admire, to amaze and inspire you
You can talk to a quilter about the work

Library
A comprehensive, up-to-date, well-organised collection of books, magazines and patterns to browse
Members can borrow - you have them for a month

Speaker
 July 2009 Leesa Chandler had us all dribbling over her handbags, so we had to have her back for a bag workshop, and to speak again Feb 2010 - that's when we got to hear about her about-to-be-released fabric "Under an Australian Sun". Absolutely scrumptious!

At the AGM in August 2009 Eileen Campbell shared her magnificent award-winning quilts including the wonderful 'Pelican Twilight'. She also shared many tips and favourite shortcuts (NOT that you are aware of any shortcuts when you are admiring Eileen's impeccable appliqué!)
