Welcome to Flying Needles Quilt Guild. Our guild is a group of over 100 members who join together to share our love of quilting. We are delighted to have you with us and hope you enjoy this time of fellowship, building friendships, creating for charities, learning new skills, and just plain old fun!
The purpose of Flying Needles Quilt Guild is to preserve and continue the traditions, culture, and history of quilting. The guild serves the general public by donations to other community service organizations. The guild serves as a source of information and inspiration in quilting and related arts through the education of its members and the public in general by means of exhibitions, lectures, demonstrations, and workshops. As an organization we encourage the heritage of quilt making and quilt collecting. The organization will be a gathering for people with this shared interest.
We have a lot going on, a quilt show, monthly meetings, teacher-led classes, workshops and sewing sessions to name a few. So take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us.
