What we do

Workshops/Challenges

The Guild works on a different challenge or project each month.

​Members can catch up here (login required)!

Charity

From crib size to king size quilt, we support local charities.

​We also have members who create fidget quilts for charity.

Mask Project
Many of our members have recently contributed to the guild effort of making masks for local health offices and community service organizations. More than 3,000 masks have been made and contributed to these efforts.​ Our efforts were recently featured in an article on Sarasota Magazine's website and in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

More information about our project can be found on our mask project page, including requesting masks, how you can help our efforts, and some of the patterns we are using.
Visit the Mask project page

Quilting Pods

We have several smaller groups meet throughout the greater Sarasota area. Named after the dolphin pods that swim in the Gulf of Mexico, we encourage our members to visit a pod and sew with some new friends!

​More information is available to members in the members page (login required).
