Whatcom Weavers Guild was organized in 1971 to promote community interest and education in textiles, and communication among fiber artists, with an emphasis on weaving. Membership is open to all persons with an interest in fiber arts. Dues are $17 per year.

Members are entitled to check out resource materials from the Guild library and receive a monthly newsletter announcing upcoming events. Guild meetings are held September through June on the second Wednesday of each month, beginning at 7:00 p.m., at St. James Presbyterian Church, 910 14th Street, in Bellingham. Each meeting begins with a half-hour of social time, followed by a short business meeting and a program. Daytime Weavers meets year-round, on the first Thursday of each month. These informal meetings provide an opportunity for Guild members
to socialize while working on their own handwork projects or participating in a group activity.

Special interest workshops are held throughout the year and are conducted by regional and national experts in their respective fields. A fee is charged to cover expenses. Spaces are filled on a "first come, first served" basis, with members having preference over non-members.

Each October, the Guild sponsors Fibers & Beyond, a show and sale featuring members' work. The 2007 sale will be held on October 19-20 at Fox Hall in Bellingham.
