Meetings
The Monthly Guild Meeting is at Germantown United Methodist Church, 2331 S. Germantown Rd. – Parking and Entrance are at the rear on West St.
The Guild meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month except in November and December.
The set up and social time will begin about 6:00 pm and the meeting will start at 6:30 pm.
Our Hospitality Table is organized by Sallye L and Sue F. It is a potluck. Bring your own beverage, water is provided.
The meeting is also available via Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to all members on the morning of the meeting and can also be found on the Members Only page of this website.
Show and Tell is everyone’s favorite part of the meetings. If you cannot attend the meeting in person to share your projects, you can submit pictures and information about your projects to our guild email address utquiltguild@gmail.com Be sure to put Show and Tell in the subject line and include your name and any information you want to share. The deadline is the Sunday before the meeting.
Pictures shared online and in person will be uploaded to the Guild’s FB after each meeting.
$tash for Ca$h is also a monthly feature of our meetings. We welcome the treasures that you bring. These are items that need a new home and can go to a new home the night of our meeting. Members pay what they feel is appropriate but if the items are left at the end of the evening, please take them back home.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
We will follow the guidelines for Shelby County Schools in the event of inclement weather, particularly ice and snow but applicable for any weather event which impacts safe travel to and from the Uncommon Threads Quilt Guild monthly meeting. If the schools are closed, the UTQG meeting will be cancelled.
Discussion was held regarding the option of switching to a virtual only meeting but concerns for the completeness and timing of the notification led the board to follow the practice of cancelling the meeting if there is a weather event with the potential to impact the safety of our members. This decision is not applicable to the UTQG Board meetings as they are held virtually each month.

November Meeting
Tuesday, November 17, 2026
Every year we have our retreat in the middle of November. What did everyone get up to? Who won the challenge? What were the classes like? At our November meeting there will be a retreat report to show what happened and how retreat turned out. Join us at our November meeting.
Also don't forget to bring what you created from your Sewcialites blocks!
December Meeting
Tuesday, December 16, 2026
In December we will have our annual party to celebrate the holidays. Please bring a dish to share, a gift for the gift exchange, and a block for the holiday friendship block exchange if you are interested in participating (see below).
This year, if you would like to participate in the optional gift exchange, please bring a gift with about a $20 value. If you can make it holiday or quilting related. The gift should be wrapped or in a bag completely concealed so people can't peek.
If you want to join in our optional holiday friendship block exchange, a tradition we started last year, please make a 12.5" unfinished SNOWMAN
block (we did Christmas trees last year). There is no specific pattern or color restrictions, the only requirement is, if you want to participate, please bring a block that is 12.5" square and has a SNOWMAN prominently displayed on it. Please be sure to sign your block.
These are meant to be friendship blocks that can provide a quick holiday project to whip up as a pillow case, placemat, table runner, wall hanging, etc. Or they can be saved as a collection to make a quilt or other item(s) after a few years.
