Each month a new block pattern is available for participants in Block of the Month. Construct the block using directions given in the monthly hand-out, bring your completed block to the next meeting for display, and get a ticket entered in that month's raffle to win a prize. At the end of the year you'll have enough blocks for the whole quilt.

The Challenge quilt is associated with the Guild's annual quilt show. Members who accept the challenge will create a quilt meets the criteria for the challenge and may win a prize!
Every other year we have a Flea Market; the next one will be in 2010. Never too early to start cleaning out your sewing room! Rotate your treasures! Or plan to shop for new and used sewing, quilting, and craft items. At the Flea Market, you can bring your friends and guests are welcome, no charge for guests. More information when we get closer.
The Guild maintains a library of wonderful books full of patterns and designs just waiting to encourage you. Guild members can check out up to three books a month. The only time money is involved is if you forget to bring back the book(s) the next month.
Here are lists of the books in Pioneer's library, sorted by category, author, or title.
We have denim shirts, Quiltfest t-shirts, cookbooks, plastic project bags, pins, and fabric tote bags for sale. All are available at regular Guild meetings.
Members have formed small groups of quilters interested in specific areas of quilting. An applique mini-group is open to all members and meets once a month.
The Pioneer Press is a monthly pulication sent to members of Pioneer Quilters Guild. Deadline for information is noon on the Friday following each general meeting (unless otherwise stated). Articles, information, and notices should be sumitted typed and ready to print.
The Guild sponsors quilt retreats twice a year, one in spring and one in the fall. See our Quilt Camp page for more information.
At each meeting, the Raffle committee presents fabric, books, patterns, and other quilt-related treasures for which members can purchase tickets.
We love to see quilts (even tops) that our MEMBERS have completed. We spend part of each meeting seeing and hearing about these creations. You can also see photos of some of the show and tell items from previous meetings here on our web site.
The guild invites locally and nationally-known quilt professionals to present workshops teaching various techniques and patterns. Some of past and future speakers are profiled here.
