Dream it.
Funds raised by the Guild are used to bring in nationally and locally recognized speakers to our monthly meetings and workshops. The programs are educational and interesting, providing quilting information on history, techniques, materials, and other aspects of this popular art form. Workshops are offered to further our knowledge.

Grow it.
Quilt-Ed Project is directed toward educating our youth about the history of quilting as well as quilting as a learning tool and art form. Lectures by a guild member, along with hands-on activities are available to teachers as a fun resource activity. Quilts are a wonderful part of our heritage and bring comfort to our lives.
