Welcome to the Hammersmith Quilters Guild Home Page

The Hammersmith Quilters Guild was founded in 1981 by a group of women interested in the
art, history, and making of quilts. The purpose of the guild is to pass on the knowledge of and
the interest in quilting to others as stated in our Mission Statement below.

Mission Statement of Hammersmith Quilters Guild Saugus, Massachusetts
|
The Hammersmith Quilters Guild is dedicated to promoting the appreciation, enjoyment, and
knowledge of quilting as an art form and a craft. The Guild also promotes ongoing charitable
works within the community and offers support to the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell,
Massachusetts.
Hammersmith Quilters' Guild welcomes guests, whether they are visiting from another area, have
come to see what the Guild is about or are accompanying a friend or relative who is a Member.
However, since the Guild presently has a waiting list for Membership, the Executive Committee
thought it would be helpful to set forth the Guild's policy on Guest visits.
A Guest is a non-Member attending a Hammersmith Quilters' Guild Meeting. People who have put
their names on the Guild's waiting list may attend meetings as Guests but only within the limits of
the Guild's Guest policy.
1. Guests pay $3.00 to attend a meeting; $5.00 if there is an outside speaker.
2. Guests may not participate in regularly scheduled Guild activities (Raflle Basket, Block of the
Month, etc.) when attending a meeting.
3. Guests may only attend two Guild meetings in a single "season", (September - June). Guests
may not attend the December meeting.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the rising costs of postage and copy fee, beginning in September 2008, guild
members requiring hard copies of the newsletter will be required to provide 10 self addressed stamped
envelopes to the secretary each September to ensure getting the newsletters through the following
September..
