Quilter's Group
Our local guild, Long Valley Quilters-Girls Gone Stitchin', has approximately 10 members, mostly from town, but from as far north as the Eureka area.  We meet every third Saturday of each month over lunch to share projects and discuss business, such as our scholarship fundraisers which benefit local students at the high school. New members are welcomed from the surrounding area.  Call 707-984-6966 for more information.

Area Quilt Shows
I  participate as a vendor in three Northern California quilt shows a year, one of which is our own.  All of the shows listed below are unique in their own way, feature examples of outstanding craftsmanship and creativity, and are well worth attending!  Get more detailed information by reading about the venues, and clicking on the links below.  Come join us!

Long Valley Quilters-Girls Gone Stitchin' hosts an outdoor show at the shop during the last weekend in August.  The show features gorgeous quilts from local quilters, refreshments, a "country store" of eclectic gently used items for sale, a raffle of various prize baskets, demonstrations, and the chance to vote for your favorite quilt.  The store is also open during this time, so feel free to come inside and browse!
