Region 6 covers Oxfordshire and Berkshire. We hold 2 Regional Days a year - one (usually March) in Berkshire and one (usually October) in Oxfordshire. In addition there is a Christmas Coffee Morning and a Summer Lunch in each county. See our Events page for details of upcoming events.
Late July saw our first Virtual Regional Day. This was a great success with a well paced day led by Jo Avery who talked to us about her quilts and over the course of the day led a workshop to make a very attractive fabric pouch. Lots of us finished the project!
Look in our Gallery to see more pouches.
Region 6 Christmas Coffee mornings prove to be a big hit!

Julia Shay has masterminded a Region 6 response to the President's challenge to raise money for the Guild Education Fund. Supported by members across the region, Julia has made our version of the Red House quilt. The raffle for this quilt was drawn during a virtual committee meeting, by a committee member's husband. The lucky winner was Jackie, from Woodcote near Reading. A total of £620 was raised through this initiative.
