We hope you can join us to at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum at Heritage Ranch (450 Quail Gardens Dr. Encinitas, CA, 92024; turn onto Ecke Ranch Rd. to access driveway). We meet outdoors under a covered patio, so please dress accordingly. We look forward to being with you all to find out what you’ve been up to and discuss and receive feedback on Guild activities.

There will be a round-table show-and-share with announcements from fellow members, and the Board will share pertinent topics from the earlier Board meeting. We encourage you to bring finished projects and/or your works-in-progress. Also, if you have a problem piece, fellow members can brainstorm ideas that may help you.

We’ll also enjoy visiting with each other during the potluck lunch prior to the mini-workshop. There is electricity for crockpots, but no kitchen facilities.

Example of Mini-Workshop Project

Following these activities, Grace Swanson will teach students how to make this charming woven angel ornament. It is a good beginner project for Teneriffe lace. We will work on a foam core “loom” using sewing head pins and leather upholstery sewing waxed thread. Project size is approximately 3.25 inches. These will make terrific holiday gifts for your friends and family! There is a small fee for the mini-workshop.

Remember to renew your membership for 2026! You can download form on the Join Us page.

Those of you who wish to learn more about Guild business are welcome to join the Board meeting that will take place before the Noon members’ meeting at 11:00 a.m. at the Heritage Museum. Please note that we will be seeking nominations for the Vice President and Treasurer to be elected at the February 2026 meeting.

For those who cannot attend the meeting in person, an email with a Zoom option will be sent to current members the week before meeting (not an option for mini-workshop portion of meeting.)
