JOIN US AT A GUILD MEETING
The guild meets the third Tuesday of each month (January - November; no December meeting). 

Meetings starting in 2025 will take place at Dover's City Hall, 288 Central Avenue.  This is a temporary venue location and we will post when we return to our normal venue. 

Parking for City Hall is limited, so it will be best to park at the Dover Public Library and then walk across the street to City Hall. in the lot behind the library and enter through the door marked #2. Handicapped entrance: door #7. 

Doors open at 6:15 pm, meeting begins at 6:30 pm.

Included in the business portion of the meeting are officer and committee reports, Show & Tell, and a door prize drawing.

Each meeting features an interesting program, often with nationally recognized quilt teachers and artists offering lectures and trunk shows of their work.
