Here are some of the activities that the guild participates in.

Bees

Bees are composed of quilt members who get together to quilt. Sometimes the bees focus on particular types of quilting, other times the bees are composed of friends. Bees are a good way to get to know other members, share stories and learn techniques. 

If you are interested in joining a bee, contact beekeeper@vereinsquiltguild.org  She will help you find a bee that meets your needs.

Block of the Month

A block or blocks are chosen by the coordinator to be made by members each month. Members use their own fabrics to make the block and can then choose to make a quilt using those blocks. Additional information about the Block of the Month can be found here.

Community Support Quilts (CSQ)

The Vereins quilt guild members currently make quilts that benefit the Ingram Youth Ranch and CASA ( a group which provides advocacy for children in the system under CPS.  In addition items are made for the Heart of the Hills Mom Center and The Grace Center.  Over 1000 quilts have been delivered to children in need of comfort since the guild was formed. The group meets the 1st Monday of each month at United Methodist Church in Fredericksburg from 10 AM to 2 PM.  

Here are the sizes needed:

Baby --------------- 40 x 40

Kids ---------------- 50 x 60

Teens -------------- 60 x 70

Boy quilts are always needed. This quilting group is open to all. Come for a couple hours or stay for the day.

Show and Share

Each month members share the quilts and projects that they have completed. This is your chance to display your beautiful quilt or garment. Perhaps you found a quilt top in a garage sale? Now is the time to show off that treasure. Everyone enjoys this part of the meeting.

Spring and Fall Retreat

The Guild hosts a two-day spring and fall "Stay-At-Home" Retreat. This retreat away from phones and family allows us to sew and quilt without interruption. The retreat provides irons, tables, chairs, lunch on both days. Information about each retreat is provided in the monthly newsletter.

Treasure Chest

A monthly drawing (Treasure Chest) for donated items from members may be held at each monthly meeting to raise funds for non-quilt related activities. At the November meeting, the distribution of these funds is voted on by ballot by the membership present. Suggestions of 501(c)3 charitable organizations should be given to a Board Member by the October meeting. These will be approved by the Board to be in compliance with Article 3 and then printed in the November newsletter.
