    The Suncoast Quilting Circle was established in 1981.  We are a not for profit organization with over 125 members.  Except for the holiday season, we meet every Wednesday morning and in the evening on the 3rd Monday of the month. 
    The Purpose of forming this group is to preserve the art of quilt making, stimulate and encourage interest through educating members and the community. 
    Our group is diverse, energetic and community oriented.  Members' ages range from 13 years old to young married, to those with careers, to retired from all parts of the country.  We are all eager to learn new techniques and ideas.  Our group is friendly and knowledgeable.  Visitors are always welcome at our meetings.  
    At our meetings we have had workshops, lectures, demonstrations, and sales day.  We encourage Show & Tell, which inspires us to keep quilting.  Our projects have included seasonal blocks, friendship blocks, annual Christmas quilt, block of the month and every other year a quilt show, which includes a raffle quilt, made by our members.  Our next Quilt Show will be in 2012.  We have an informative newsletter to keep our members up to date.  We've added a yearly quilting retreat and our Summer Enrichment Workshop Day has grown to included our winter members in a Winter Enrichment Workshop Day.  We have for the benefit of our members an extensive library with over 425 books, magazines, DVD's & video's.
