The Havasu Stitchers received its Charter from AQG on October of 1992 at the fall meeting of the Arizona Quilters Guild in Phoenix, Arizona. It began with 30 members and we are now averaging 130 to 160 members. There is plenty to do within this organization and many choices. You can participate as much or as little as you want. We try to have something for everyone. The monthly meetings give you the opportunity to meet your fellow members and to have the opportunity to sign up for the many classes and events that are always going on. You can pick up the newsletter to stay informed and the best part of course is the show n tell time. We have ongoing monthly participation in the Block of the Month, Strip Club -the exchange of WOF (width of fabric) strips, & Secret Sisters. We have a monthly gathering for our Comfort Quilts community service projects and Sit-N-Sew time. There are monthly coffee socials so that you can have a better opportunity to meet your fellow Stitchers. We have the Havasu Academy (lecture/demonstrations) prior to our monthly meetings from September through May at 5:30pm where our members donate their time and talents to educate us on various elements, new techniques or phases of quilt making. We have quilt camps/retreats for you to enjoy; one in January, one in March, one in July, & a mini retreat in October. We hold our Quilt Show on the first weekend in November every other year on the odd numbered years; 2007, 2009, etc. On the even numbered years we have begun to hold our Quilt Auction. Thats not all there are even more activities. Keep your ears open and check out the newsletter and this website for other events. Our members also have smaller sewing circles - friendship groups so there is the opportunity that after you have been a member for awhile to meet others and join in with established circles or create a new one. Wonderful friendships can and have been formed through this club.
We want to welcome you to our website and we hope to see you at one of our meetings sometime!
