We offer a diverse program of lectures and workshops. Guests are always welcome (for a small fee of $5 per meeting). As you look through our website you'll find information on our programs, workshops, monthly activities (block exchanges, round robins, fat quarter exchanges), quilt show and auction, fashion show, community service, library, bus trips to quilt shows, officers, history, and more. All activities are open to members and non-members. Won't you join us?

The general meeting is held on the third Tuesday of every month. The doors open at 6 pm, the meeting is called to order at 7 pm. Members are encouraged to come early to socialize, check out or return guild library books, or sign up to participate in guild activities. The 2008 general meetings are held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 301 Avenue D, Redondo Beach, CA. (see map below) You can also contact us for additional information.

The board meeting is held on the first Tuesday of every month at Coco's Restaurant in Manhattan Village Mall, Marine and Sepulveda, Manhattan Beach, CA. We meet at 6pm for dinner; business begins at 7pm. All members are welcome to attend. The restaurant does not charge us to meet there; it is suggested that we purchase something from the menu. If you're not a board member, please email the President to let her know you'll be attending, so she can arrange the seating.
