Welcome to GALA...
Welcome to all visitors...
The purpose of the GALA Quilters Guild is to further an interest in all matters pertaining to quilting. We strive to achieve this goal through the fellowship and collaboration of all of our members by exchanging information, ideas and quilting techniques. Guild dues are $20 per year, due each January.
We'd love to hear from you! If you have questions about our guild, events or programs, would like to visit a guild meeting, or if you are interested in becoming a guild member, just email ContactUs@GALAQuiltGuild.com.
GALA members may log in to our yahoo group page to chat anytime.

April 24 – Salute to the South – Ft. Benning - We are again participating in Salute to the south at the Uchee Creek Campground on Ft. Benning on Saturday April 24 from 10-5. Set up starts at 10; opens at 11. Be prepared to volunteer to work a shift and perhaps do a demonstration of a quilting art while you are there. We generated a lot of interest last year. Examples of demonstrations include: hand quilting, paper piecing, English paper piecing, yo yo making, baby quilts. We will also be hanging small quilts on our tent clothesline. If you have a patriotic or any other small piece you would like to hang for our décor, bring it to the meeting ahead of time or to the event.
