 Fundraising 

Quilted Table  - September 16, 2023 at Village on Antioch Church in Overland Park, KS.
The Quilted Table is an in-person luncheon, small quilt exhibit and auction of one-of-a-kind items crafted by guild members as well as donated goodies.  It is a fun experience to get together and see how each of the tables are decorated with a different theme.
The Beatles Exhibit/Boutique  -  March 15th & 16th, 2024 at Village On Antioch Church in Overland Park, KS
This Exhibit is a great opportunity for us to show the amazing talent in our Guild.  It was born out of a challenge to the Guild Members to create a Beatles themed quilt no larger than 60” x 60”, commemorating when the Beatles first came to the United States 60 years ago!  Beatlemania created a cultural impact on music, fashion and style!
We charge a small fee for entry and have a boutique with one-of-a-kind items crafted by BVQG Members.

Quilted Auction
The Quilted Auction features one-of-a-kind items crafted by guild members as well as other donated goodies. This online event will be a unique and fun shopping experience. Something for everyone!  TBD for next auction.

Free Table

Bring your giveaway, quilt-related items to Guild meetings and place them on the Free Table. These can be items you no longer want or use and would like to share. Members can select items from the Free Table during the meeting.
