The Piecemakers Guild was formed by a group of women after taking classes from Sally Palmer Fields, a quilt teacher from Chelmsford, MA. The original purpose of the Piecemakers was to continue learning about quilting. They started this Guild in hopes of continuing their journey.
The purpose of the Tewksbury Piecemakers is to provide the opportunity for the education, appreciation, and advancement of the art of quilting, service and fellowship.
Guild meetings are held once a month, March through December. Meetings are scheduled on the second Tuesday of the month at the Tewksbury Senior Center at 7:00 PM. Our year generally starts with a “get acquainted” meeting in March. We have two or more guest speakers throughout the year, as well as monthly raffles. We work on many different charity projects that are donated to local organizations and/or needy families.
Board/Officer meetings are held once a month to review the committee reports and to set the agenda for the next meetings. All guild members are welcome to attend.
Annual dues are payable by the end of January for the following year. Each member receives a copy of the monthly newsletter, membership list and first options on workshops and activities. Non-member guests are invited to attend any open meeting free and for a fee of $5.00 when there is a guest speaker.
Guild membership is open. Dues are currently $30.00 per year.
