Retreats and More

We hold weekend retreats at local fire halls and commuity centers and virtual retreats at frequent intervals. Visit different locations around the county for weekend sewing or sign into Zoom and sew all day in your own home, sharing what you are working on and getting advice.

We offer several workshops a year, allowing participants to explore new skills and techniques. For example, Carolina Oneto presented her VIRTUAL WORKSHOP "Curves and Transparencies" teaching how to cut and sew complicated curves, using color and value to create transparency effects.

Workshops are announced when scheduled.

We make hundreds of quilts and other sewn items every year for donation to many local organizations. We have work nights at some of our meetings to make quilts.

For many years we have had a collaboration with the History Center in Tompkins County on its collection of historic quilts.

The members of the guild design and produce a quilt for which we sell raffle tickets. The drawing for the winner is held at our quilt show. The latest raffle quilt was finished in the spring of 2022 for our Show, October 2022.

Generally every two years we put on a quilt show. Our last Show was October 2022.
