Small groups are the modern day equivalent of the old fashioned quilting bee.
Many small groups have formed as a result of friendships made through the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild. Small groups range in size from 2 to 25 members. Some groups have been meeting for several years, others are just forming. These groups establish regular meeting times and often meet in one another’s homes or a restaurant, library, church or community center. Small groups may study a common theme, participate in exchanges and/or round robins, take shopping trips, visit quilt shows, take retreats, volunteer in guild and community projects and participate in a variety of other planned activities.
This area of the website will be used to identify the small groups that are active within our guild.
If you are interested in joining an existing or newly forming small group, please email vicepresident@dmaqg.org As Vice President, Mary Franck has been helping to keep track of small groups.
