Southern Stars
Quilt Guild |
The Southern Stars
Quilt Guild is the southern most of
the five Broward County guilds, and
serves quilters from north
Miami-Dade to central Broward and
beyond. The Southern Stars meet the
third Monday each month at St.
John's Lutheran Church, 2919 Van
Buren Street in H ollywood, Florida.
The group kicks off with socializing
and refreshments from 6:45 p.m.
until the start of the meeting
around 7:15 p.m.
The short business meeting is
followed by a program, which might
be something hands-on, a
demonstration, a make-it-take-it, a
lecture, or something else entirely.
Programs are eclectic and always
interesting. While the Southern
Stars have refreshments every month,
they also hold a pot-luck banquet at
the end of their fiscal year in
June, and a holiday celebration
feast each December.
Among the activities that keep life
interesting for the Southern Stars,
in addition to an invigorating
program each month, are block of the
month, fat quarter drawing, name tag
drawing, library raffle, show and
tell, field trips to fun and
fascinating places, intriguing
workshops, mystery quilt, secret
pal, an annual charity project (in
addition to the BQE raffle quilt),
and any other worthwhile activity
someone cares to spearhead. We are a
smaller, very active guild where
everyone has a voice, and we welcome
new ideas along with new blood -
just keep it off the quilts!

guild, if you'd like to attend a
