Membership Benefits
Bringing Sunshine
We all need a bit of sunshine in our lives from time to time. In the Guild, we celebrate member birthdays with a “TOY” block, which stands for “Thinking of You.”
Additionally, if someone is in need of a little brightness during an illness, please inform the current Sunshine Chair so that we can send out a TOY block to uplift their spirits.
If you’re interested in creating a TOY block to brighten someone’s day, the instructions are below.
Challenges
Periodically, the Shenandoah Valley Quilters Guild presents challenges for its members to participate in. These challenges may even be showcased in our quilt show.
Below are the instructions for the latest President’s Challenge Quilt.
Block of the Month
Each month, the Guild introduces a new Block of the Month pattern to encourage members to embrace new techniques and quilting styles.
Below you’ll find the Block of the Month along with block patterns from previous months.
