Milk and Honey Meetings
Meetings this year will be either in-person or via Zoom.
"Hybrid Zoom": For meetings listed as "Hybrid Zoom", you can watch the presentation by logging in to Zoom from home or coming to the American Legion hall and watching it there on the big screen with other members.
If you aren't a member but would like to attend a meeting, please send an email to us at milkandhoneyquilters@yahoo.com
Unless indicated otherwise in the listing below, our meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Every Milk & Honey Quilters meeting begins with a short guild business update and includes a Show 'n' Tell, when we share the progress of our latest creations or seek project advice from each other. Both completed and unfinished projects are welcomed. Most meetings are held at the American Legion building located off Route 7 South (behind G Stone Motors) in Middlebury. Exceptions are noted below.

In-Person Meeting: “Super Show & Tell”
Members are invited to share some of their favorite quilts. Bring one or bring several. Bring quilts you’ve made or inherited or were gifted. We’ll do a “quilt turning” to view the quilts. ALSO - we need small quilted items that can be displayed in locked display cases to promote our quilt show. Please bring them to this meeting, labeled with your name (to ensure they get returned to their rightful owner).
