The Quilters' Sew-Ciety
The Quilters’ Sew-Ciety of Redding, Inc was established in 1979 with 8 Charter Members
Sew-Ciety has 200 plus members and meets the first Tuesday of each month in the Senior
Citizen's Hall at 2290 Benton Drive in Redding, California. The meetings start at 7 PM. Visitors
are encouraged to come to our meetings, and the guest fee for non-members is $7 for "Big Name" speakers,
and $3 for regular guild meetings. The month of September is Friendship month, and no guest fee will be
charged. Membership in the Sew-Ciety is $25 for the year, Junior (17 and under) at no charge.
Bring your dues at the January meeting or mail your check (made out to the Quilter's Sew-Ciety
of Redding, Inc.) to P. O. Box 492581, Redding, CA 96049-2581. We have a monthly newsletter
which is mailed free to each member.
The purpose of the Guild is to contribute to the growth and knowledge of quilting techniques,
patterns, history and quilt making by providing educational meetings, fun and fellowship. We
also sponsor and support quilting activities, and encourage quilt making and collecting and
promote the appreciation and knowledge of fine quilts. Additionally, guild members contribute
to the community through philanthropic quilts and assist charitable organizations through our
fund raising activities. The Quilters’ Sew-Ciety of Redding, Inc. conducts a major event each
year; a Quilt show on even years (2006, 2008, etc.), and the Quilt Bash on odd years (2005, 2007, etc).
