The benefits of membership in HAVQG include:

• Attendance at the guild's monthly meetings at no additional charge.  The Guild meets monthly from September through June.  Our meetings regularly feature guest speakers from the region as well as the larger quilting community or programs that provide opportunities for members to share their interests and talents while becoming better acquainted.

• Participation in workshops taught by guest speakers and talented members.

• Access to the Guild's library of 350+ volumes.  A wide range of topics are covered in the Guild's library.  They include quilt history, construction techniques (traditional to today's embellishment), design, color, patterns, etc.  A selection is available at each meeting.

• Opportunities to contribute to and participate in group projects and community service.  A few examples include the Guild's annual in-house, member raffle quilt; our biennial Quilt Show raffle quilt; quilts made for members of our larger community such as foster children, veterans, hospitalized individuals, etc.

• Participation in our biennial show.  The Guild holds a show every other year featuring the work of its members.  It is well attended by the public and includes a variety of other activities, such as a mini-quilt auction, vendors from throughout the region, activities for children, the raffle quilt, quilt appraisals, etc.

• More importantly, you will find a welcoming group of men and women who are interested in learning more about you and sharing with you their appreciation of quilting in all of its forms.
