Our Programs & Activities
Meetings are at 7 PM the third Monday of each month except December. Meetings are held at the First United Methodist Church (325 E Franklin St., Appleton) at the corner of Drew and Washington Streets in Appleton.
 

Every year we have nationally recognized teachers and speakers present to the guild and provide classes on an
    almost monthly basis. Workshops are either held at this location or the Goodwill Industries building at 1800 Appleton
    Rd, Menasha. Click for a program listing or for a printable map to both locations.

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 members.
