Join the VTMQG

In order to promote accessibility and welcome quilters with varying levels of financial flexibility into our guild, the VTMQG is pleased to continue to offer flexible membership dues.

In addition to the standard dues, a lower-cost option exists for those for whom the standard dues would be a barrier to participation in the guild. Additionally, a higher-cost option exists for those who wish to “pay it forward” in order to ensure an accessible option exists for those who benefit. All information regarding selection of flexible membership dues options will remain confidential.

Dues

Dues are paid annually in January; all membership options have the same benefits. New members are welcome to join at anytime. Please feel free to choose the selection that matches your financial circumstances the best.

  • $40 for standard pricing for the full year

  • $25 for the lower-cost option for the full year

  • $60 for the higher-cost option for the full year

Guests are welcome to attend two meetings free of charge, after which membership will be required.
For members joining after July 1, membership is $25 for the half-year.

If you’d like to join, please fill out our membership form before making a selection on pricing.
