OVQG Membership


​Yearly membership runs from October 1 to September 30 at a cost of $70.  Membership benefits include use of the guild library, participation in guild activities, retreats and workshops, displaying work at our quilt shows, access to the Members Only area of the website and the camaraderie of more than 100 talented and enthusiastic quilters and fabric artists.

The Membership table is set up at every meeting, and there will always be a friendly face there to greet you.  Visitors are invited to sign the guest book and make a name tag.  Various guild pins are available for sale at the Membership table.  
​
Meetings are held every Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to noon from September through May.  Many different activities take place at our meetings: tutorials, demos, speakers, trunk shows, business meetings, etc.  The library is open, and a Show and Tell session is held at every meeting.  The program starts with Show and Tell at 9:30 followed by announcements.  Check out the Activities and Program pages for more information. 

All meetings are held at the Okanagan Mission Community Hall, 4409 Lakeshore Road (corner of Lakeshore and DeHart) in Kelowna.  (See Contact page for map.)  Tea and coffee are provided, but members are asked to bring their own cups or mugs.

​MESSAGE FROM THE INCOMING EXECUTIVE:
          It is a new year at the guild and we are excited to have such a varied program for you. Many of the experienced executive have stayed in place, but lots of opportunities for volunteers to get some experience. 
         The NICU quilts are being completed at a rate that should keep the hospital full for the year, but Barb will be letting us know if we start to run short. Batting will be available in Oct and kits are being put together as we speak. Christmas stocking production has already begun.
