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. Meeting Schedule and Cancellation Policy The Hammersmith

Mission
Statement of
Guest Policy 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. Tidbits
of Guild Information 1. Postage: Beginning in September 2003, the Guild will pay postage for newsletters. 2. Boutique/Penny Sale/ Raffle Tickets for Shows: The overwhelming response (only one “no”) was that participation in the Boutique be voluntary but that each member be required to donate one item to the Penny Sale and sell two books of tickets for the Raffle Quilt. (Remember, this only applies every other year, when we have a Show.) 3. Responses to the proposed payment policy (below, for reference) were generally positive although a significant number of people wrote comments opposing the use of guild funds for scholarships. Accordingly, the Guild does not plan to offer scholarships at present. An activity which costs money but is being offered at a meeting (e.g., speaker) will be paid for by the Guild, since all members will have an opportunity to attend/participate. An activity costing a moderate amount of money which is made available to all guild members but not at a regular meeting (e.g., Saturday workshop, shopping trip) will be subsidized by the Guild (e.g., when the Guild paid one-half the bus cost for the trip to Keepsake Quilting) but members attending will be required to pay part of the cost. Activities such as weekend quilt “escapes” or bus trips longer than a day “shop hop” may be arranged through the Guild but members choosing to attend will pay their own way. When this type of trip is planned, all deposits are non-refundable. This is guild policy. Thanks to all who contributed to the above decisions. Click on the logo above to go to the NEQM home page.
