The Guild brings together quilters, needle artists and fiber artists. Special Interest Groups within the guild are Quilting, Stitchery, Wearable Art, Beading, Teddy Bears, Knitting and Hand Applique. Meetings are held in the Social Hall at the Aldersgate Methodist Church, One Wellbrock Heights, San Rafael, California. Each Special Interest Group meets 6 to 10 times throughout the year setting their own meeting days and times. The Guild schedules workshops, seminars and field trips thoroughout the year for its members.
Guests are welcome to attend two meetings before membership is required.
The Guild has been producing this show each year since 1986. The show exhibits over 500 Quilt, Needlework and Wearable Art entries. Each year well known artists are selected as Featured Artists and their work is displayed in recognition of their achievements. During the show they each lecture and present their work in the Show Case Theater. Proceeds from this show provide Needle Arts education for the membership and community at large and, in addition, provide grants and scholalrship to schools and individuals interested in promoting the Needle Arts.
