Mountain Stars Quilters Guild
was founded in 1983. Since its' inception our guild has grown to over
220 members that come from all over beautiful southern Oregon and northern
California. We represent all age groups and all levels of experience.
Everyone is welcome.
The Purpose of our organization is to
foster the art of quilting and to encourage a high standard of design
and technique in all its various forms. Our guild encourages the preservation
and conservation of fine quilts, antique quilts and contemporary quilts
for posterity.
Mountain Stars Quilters Guild:
- Meetings are held on the second Saturday of the
month in January, March, May, September, and November. In July, the
meeting is held on the third Saturday of the month to accomodate our
members attending shows such as the Jacksonville
Museum Quilters Quilt Show and the Sisters
Outdoor Quilt Show. Occasionally, our meetings are changed to meet
time constraints of our speakers. These changes are announced at the
meetings and in the newsletters.
- We have a time of fellowship and chatter while we
work on our own projects in the morning from 9:30 a.m. until noon. A
business meeting begins at 12:00 p.m. followed by a speaker or a program.
A popular event is our Show and Tell, presented by our very talented
members. We meet at the Live Oak Grange Hall,
which is located at 120 Gardiner Street, Rogue River, Oregon.
- We Bring in nationally known speakers to lecture
and conduct workshops for the benefit of our members and the general
public.
- We share information concerning our member groups,
upcoming quilt shows and other activities by publishing our bi-monthly
newsletter.
- We present three workshop retreats a year at Diamond
Lake, two in the Spring, and one in the Fall.
- We have an elected board that conducts the business
of the guild.
- Our organization relies on volunteers and
member participation to make the guild more meaningful to all our members.
