The double nine patches just killed me! Fun project using reproduction 30’s fabrics. Combination of machine piecing and hand applique. Longarm custom quilting by Ramona Houle. MembershipMembership is open to all. We welcome both beginners and experienced quilters. We gather for conversation, inspiration, working together, and working separately.

Quilting in CharlottesvilleCharlottesville Area Quilters Guild is a recreational, charitable, and educational membership organization. To further its purpose to unite area quilters and the appreciation of quilts and quilting in general, the Guild supports numerous charitable projects (including donating over 280 nap quilts and accompanying books to pre-K classrooms in the area) and organizes various workshops, demonstrations, and sharing opportunities among members. The Guild holds a public show of members' work in the spring of even-numbered years. It facilitates a quarterly newsletter of activities, an annual multi-day retreat to focus on quilt projects, and a members-only space to share photos of completed projects on social media. The Guild also hosts yearly workshops with nationally known teachers and monthly mini-workshops that draw from the Guild's talented pool of quilters. The Guild is active in many service projects providing quilts for comfort, beauty, and fund-raising efforts for a variety of community-based organizations. The Guild, as a whole, meets twice a year, while its four chapters meet weekly or bi-weekly. Members are free to participate in as much or as little as they desire. All skill levels are welcome. The Guild encourages guests to join us for a few meetings to see if membership is right for them. A more detailed history of the Guild is available here. Community Service News
