Programs & Workshops
Programs:
-- Programs are presented at our monthly meetings, both on Monday evening and again on Wednesday morning. Everyone attending the meeting can enjoy the speakers lecture. Many of our speakers have a trunk show that accompanies the program they often bring items for sale, as well.
-- Programs planned for January 2022 through April 2022. Click above for more updates.
Workshops
-- Many lecturers teach a workshop while they are here. In a workshop we work on projects to learn new techniques or to improve our quilting techniques.
-- Workshops are usually held on the Tuesday that falls between our meetings.
· You must sign up in advance for the workshop and pay the fee.
-- Most workshops have a min and max number of students, so it is good to sign up well in advance so we know that we will be able to have the workshop.
-- Each workshop will have a supply list with the materials and equipment needed for that class. If a sewing machine is needed, be sure it is in good working order and you know how to use it.
-- Workshops planned for February and April 2022. Click above for what is being planned.
Proposal to Change HSQG Meeting Days and Times
Rationale:
-The problem: Present meeting days sometime conflict with Tucson Guild This affects about 6-7 members.
- Possible solutions/changes:
1. Change days to last (or 4th?) Monday and Wednesday of the month same times with Tuesday for the workshop Pro: Would avoid Tucson dates Would remove conflict with Show dates early in March Con: Would conflict with Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays
2. Change meeting days to Tuesday with a morning and evening program on the same day. Workshop day on Wednesday Pro: Might save one night hotel expense for local speakers Would put the programs first, so more people might sign up for workshop. Con: Would still conflict with Tucson if we stay in first week of month Speakers from a distance probably would still need to come the day before
3. Change meeting days to third Monday and Wednesday of the month workshop stays on Tuesday Pro: Would not conflict with any holidays Would not conflict with Show dates and deadlines Con: Would necessitate changing BOD meetings, newsletter deadlines and publication dates
4. Combination
