meetings are held at the
Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center

Meetings
Meetings are held on the third Monday of
every month. Typically, meetings start at 1:00 PM on odd numbered months and at 7:00 PM on even numbered months, but please refer to the Calendar of Events tab for up to date meeting dates and times, as times and dates are subject to change.
Each meeting includes a program on quilting and a show-and-tell of
members’ recently-completed quilts. These gatherings provide an
opportunity for guild members and guests to share ideas about quilting
and to provide encouragement and support for various quilt projects. New
members and visitors are always welcome. Although there is no charge to
attend the meetings, visitors are asked to join after attending their
third meeting.
Cancellation Policy - In the event that Wellsboro Area Schools or neighboring districts are closed due to inclement weather, all guild meetings and activities will be canceled. Notifications regarding cancellations, whether due to weather or other reasons, will be shared on the guild's Facebook page and blog. It is advisable to check these platforms for updates before traveling to any guild meeting or event.
Membership
The guild currently has about 90 members, of all
ability levels, mostly from North Central Pennsylvania and the Southern
Tier of New York. Annual dues are $20 and are due by February 1 every year; members
must renew their membership by the March meeting in order to continue
to receive the guild monthly newsletter and other member benefits.
Activities
MLQG sponsors workshops and lectures by
nationally-known quilters, as well as workshops by guild members. There
are several informal smaller groups within the guild which allow members
to work on their own quilting projects in a comfortable atmosphere with
other quilters. Other activities sponsored by the guild include a
community outreach program and bus trips to national-level quilt shows.
