Darting Needles hosts a quilt show bi-annually.
Several smaller groups meet monthly at members' homes to
work on quilting projects, share their knowledge, have
"show and tell", and share good company among friends.
The
guild hosts a retreat weekend in January which provides
a fun weekend away from home for members to work
on individual projects or to work on projects the retreat
committee designs.
Darting Needles Quilt Guild maintains a
library
of over 350 reference books that may be checked out by
