Welcome to the website of the Huntington Quilters' Guild.  We meet the first Tuesday of the month from September to June at 7:30 PM at the United Methodist Church in Centerport, New York.  Guests are welcome at our monthly meetings except for the months of December and June. We will be celebrating our Thirtieth Anniversary this autumn.

To date, the 2009-2010 seaon has been rich with exciting activities and events.  A few highlights to date:

- First, this website has grown from a fledging start-up to a dependable "go-to" site for guild and quilt information broadening the number of people who interact with us.  Congratulations to our two webmasters, Laura and Linda. 
- Second, our Chinese Auction was a rousing success with many happy guild members searching through their gaily wrapped winnings to see the hidden possibilities under the cellophane and ribbons.  A round of applause to Jen and Karen for their creativity and hard work.
- Third, Quilt Camp, our annual spring guild learning event, took us on a day trip to the fantastic beach designed by the two very creative social directors/quilters, Jen and Laura while we shared new techniques and recipes with one another. I enjoyed learning how to do two new projects from my fellow Huntington Quilters while chatting with other members and catching up on their families and lives.
- Fourth, there is our monthly Show “N Tell where members exhibit their completed projects to the enthusiastic ohs and ahs of the assembled members.
- Fifth, seeing the growing pile of Pro Bono quilts collected every month to be distributed to the needy within our community shows members’ generosity and the enthusiasm and hard work of Ruth, Eithne and Jackie. 
- Sixth, the growing anticipation as Joan, Lucille, Marian and Paula collect blocks that will be our 2010 Raffle Quilt which promises to be a stunner with those four ladies at the helm.

Lastly,  like any organization there are the many in the background filling in the nooks and crannies of each and every activity we share like the husbands who helped set-up tables and soothe cantankerous computers, Sachiko and crew in the kitchen preparing delicious cups of coffee and tea, the Book Raffles with Carole and Lynne, the group who stick around after every event and meeting folding up tables, and all the members who attend, bringing their quilting skills, upbeat personalities, positive attitudes and great food to help every event be a success.

I would like to welcome our new members, wish Good Luck to our members who have moved off Long Island and remember the familiar faces lost to us this year.  The Guild, like life, is an ever changing entity.
