Tributaries

Often known in other guilds as “Bees”, Tributaries are small groups that meet regularly for members to share their love of quilting.  Meetings are very casual and always open to visitors and/or new members.  All offer plenty of free advice.  Sometimes of it is even about quilting!  Following is a quick summary of the current Tributaries. 

Please note: There is no limit to the number of tributaries in Red River Quilters.  If you would like to start a new group please let any Board Member know so we can help you get started.  The more the merrier!

 

Haughton Quilters

Pack a lunch and prepare to laugh! The Haughton Quilters usually work on individual projects (both by hand and machine) but sometimes tackle a common pattern. Twice a year the group organizes a 4-day overnight quilting retreat. There are also 3-day “sew-ins” twice a year at the church.

These ladies spend their Thursdays sharing quilting, laughs and dessert!
