We ask guild members to sponsor some fun and educational activities throughout the year.
Our member activities are a great opportunity to share knowledge and talents while getting to know one another better.
If you would like to help with or have an idea for a member sponsored activity, let us know now!
Contact activities@northernstarquilters.com with your questions and ideas.
