St. Mary’s Quilting Guild
Wednesdays 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (end time varies)
This guild was founded in 1860. Income generated by this guild’s work is used to purchase a variety of items used by our clergy and the congregation for worship, such as our prayer candle stand and the new purple chasuble worn in Advent.
St. Mary's Needle Arts Guild
Thursdays 1:00-3:00 PM
Members work on both personal projects and St. Mary's Prayer Shawls. All skill levels are welcome. This is a great place to sharpen your skills and learn new techniques. If you want to learn, we're happy to teach. Most attendees are knitters, though we often have other skills present such as rug hooking, crochet, embroidery, and needle point.
