One of the best ways to connect to your community is through volunteering. We need our talented and generous members to share their unique skills in order to support the mission of the guild: to grow and develop modern quilting through art, education, and community.

Fall Round Table Member PresentationsEach fall, one of our general meetings is dedicated entirely to member-led mini-presentations. It's a wonderful opportunity for everyone to share their skills, tips, tricks, and favorite quilting discoveries, and is consistently one of our most popular meetings. You don’t need to be an expert; if you’ve learned something that made your quilting life easier, others will want to hear it! Everyone has something to share. Possible topics (some are actual past examples that remain talked about): Using Legos to master a scant ΒΌ" seam; Mitered corners + binding tricks; App demos (EQ8, Inkscape, etc.); Stretches and ergonomic tips; Organization strategies; Using a new notion; Technique demos: FPP, EPP, fussy cutting; Identifying fabric substrates; Pressing techniques; Machine maintenance basics; Scrap-busting ideas; Quick project demos; Navigating Discord or the guild website; Playing a you tube video. The variety is part of the fun—every year brings new ideas. How It Works Over the course of an hour, presenters will give 10 - 15 minute demos as members rotate around the room in small groups. Expect 3 - 4 rounds, depending on the number of presenters. This format keeps things lively, interactive, and low-pressure. You don’t need slides or a formal setup, just show your technique, tool, or tip and chat with the group. Presentations may be broadcast to our members attending by zoom. Want to Present? Programs builds the presenter roster a few weeks before the Round Table meeting, but you’re welcome to reach out any time during the year if you’d like to volunteer. Whether your idea is tiny or technical, practical or playful, we’d love to include it. Zoom attendees are encouraged to participate as presenters.
