The WNCQG was founded in 1982 to provide
an opportunity for area quilters to gather together and promote
the art of quilting. We have approximately 200 members-- both
men and women.
They meet on the third Thursday of each month with
alternate day and evening meetings. Meetings may include lectures, slide
shows and workshops, and always feature the popular Show and Tell. In
addition, each geographic area of the Guild meets monthly to share
information and techniques, and work on projects that are donated to the
community.
Membership is open to anyone interested in
quilts or quilting. Visitors are welcome to attend meetings. (They do
not charge a guest fee.)
