DQG - Events
General Meetings
Guild meetings are held on the third Tuesday evening of each month at the Patterson-Appleton Center for the Visual Arts, 400 E. Hickory at Bell in Denton, Texas. A social time with snacks and drinks provided by members begins at 6:30 PM with the meeting starting at 7 PM.
Workshops & Continuing Education
Workshops are offered throughout the year. The teachers are from among the monthly meeting program presenters, many of whom are nationally known quilters. A fee set by the teachers is charged.
Continuing Education classes are offered throughout the year. The teachers are from among our guild members and a nominal fee is charged.
Both Workshops and CE classes are offered to guild members only. If a workshop or class doesn't fill, the registration will open to other guilds' members, generally by the end of the preceeding month.
