Activities


Retreat - At least once a year we pick a site to have a sewing retreat at the members own expense.
Sewing Bee/Skill Builder - Our guild members meet and bring an array of sewing projects they are working on the 4th Thursday of the month  from 9-3 (except November and December) at Gashland United Methodist Church, 7715 N. Oak Trafficway, Kansas City, MO.  There is often a quilt project coordinated by one of the members for participants to work on.
Memory Makers - This group also meets on the 4th Thursday at Gashland United Methodist Church. They baste quilts that need to be hand quilted.  Each lady that helps baste a quilt logs her time.  For every four hours she bastes, she receives one quilt basted for $1.  If you are a member of the guild but have not previously basted any quilts and you'd like a quilt basted, the fee is $20. This fee is also applicable to people outside our guild.
​Charity Quilts - Members donate quilts to organizations such as NorthCare Hospice, Resource Health, Baby Grace, and the VA Home in Cameron.
​Library - We maintain an extensive library of quilting-related books that may be checked out by our members.
Opportunity Quilt - Each year some of our members make a quilt to be raffled off in September. The quilt is displayed either at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival or the Northland Needlers Quilt Show. All ticket sales go toward programs. 
Scrap Quilt - A scrap quilt is created each year using donations of scraps. Our members are often given the opportunity to make blocks with the scraps as well as assembling the quilt. Tickets for the scrap quilt are sold only to members and the quilt is raffled off at our December meeting.
Peer to Peer Classes - Quilt techniques taught by our members.​
​Mini Groups - Small groups meet to work on a technique or type of quilt such as Accuquilt, EQ8, Stitch Chix, or Wool Work. The groups meet monthly in homes or other meeting rooms.
Northland Needler's Quilt Show - We hold a biennial quilt show in September in conjunction with the Nitetime Needlers Guild.  The quilt show includes vendors, a bazaar, silent auction, special exhibits, and of course approximately 100 exquisite handmade quilts. 
Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival - This festival originated in 2015 and will be held every two years. We are proud to be a supporter of this fabulous show. Please click here for the Regional Quilt Festival website.
