"Quilts have been binding women together for centuries. Whether it be through the simple exchange of patterns or a shared bag of fabric scraps, quilting is a true community effort."
~This Old Quilt, Margaret Aldrich, Editor

New members may join at any time. For those joining the Guild after the month of December, dues will be reduced to half of the current membership fee.

To help us get to know one another, new members are issued name tags. Members are asked to wear their name tags to the meetings or pay a 25ȼ fine.
