Mississippi River Sampler Guild
Dubuque, Iowa
 

The Mississippi River Sampler Guild has a variety of events that we participate in every year. We also look for new events to grow our guild.

 

General Meeting: First Sunday of the month (unless the date falls on a holiday weekend). The General meeting is from 1 PM - 4 PM.

Board Meeting: The Board Meeting follows the General Meeting and is from 4 PM - 5 PM.

Saturday Stitchers: Saturday Stitchers is a day that we gather at one of the members homes to stitch, eat, and get to know each other better. This is always a special day of fun and relaxation. It is held on the 4th Saturday of the month (unless the date falls on a holiday weekend). We do not meet in November and December.

Needlework Exhibit: Every other year we have a needlework exhibit in conjunction with the Fleur de Lis EGA chapter. This year the exhibit will be held on June 3rd and 4th, 2006, at Mary Josita Hall at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. The exhibit runs from 10 AM - 5 PM.
