Swaps are an opportunity to make or exchange something with another guild member. There are multiple swap opportunities each year, all are optional.
In 2026 the first Swap is a Totebag swap for our April meeting.
The most common swap is for a member to make or bring an item and leave the meeting with a similar item from another member. The swap list for 2025 is:
- Bring a set of 5″ squares to the June 2025 guild meeting. Read for instructions and more information. (closed)
- Our swap for October 2025 will be mini-quilts! Read for instructions and more information. (closed)

In 2025, we announced a new swap opportunity for members: Monthly Block Lottery! This is a great opportunity to try out new designs and techniques while seeing how your guildmates interpret the prompt.

Every month, we’ll announce a quilt block for members to make for the following month’s guild meeting. You can make as many blocks as you want and for every block you make, you will be entered into a drawing for ALL THE BLOCKS! From there, winners can let their creativity fly with the block winnings.
There will be specific instructions every month but here’s a few rules for participating in the Block Lottery:
Rules:
- Follow the guidelines for the block announced at each meeting
- Use quilt store quality cotton for your blocks unless announced otherwise
- 1 block = 1 entry into the lottery; bring all completed blocks to the meeting to be eligible for the drawing
- Multiple winners may be drawn depending on the number of blocks submitted
- Have fun!
