“Newcomers” are the newest members of TBQ who have joined within the last year. Please contact Mary Ellen Coe or Georgia Lindsay for further information.
Newcomers is a great way to meet people, learn about the guild and make some super-cool projects! Primarily designed for those new to TBQ, we also welcome all members who wish to partake in our activities.
We share ‘show-n-tell’, scavenger hunt in the Membership Directory, tips and tricks, make a group quilt for the small quilt auction, and make some useful and beautiful projects.
Our annual calendar runs from September through May, with a break in December.
