Join A Small Group

As a GAAQG member, a great way to meet people is to join a small group.
 
These small groups are the heart of our guild. They provide friendship and growth and are well worth the effort to join.Some of the small groups meet in person and others through Zoom.
 
The focus of the groups vary from making quilts for SafeHouse to Art Quilts to exploring new techniques.

"I was struck by the energy and passion of the group and really wowed by your meeting space, especially the tech aspects. It was a dream gig to have someone doing sound and lights and handling Zoom and all that in such a professional way. I could relax and just do my thing, deliver my message. You guys are so lucky!"
