About our Guild

Our guild membership is open to anyone above the age of sixteen. We also have a Junior membership for those eight to sixteen at a reduced rate. Junior members must have an adult sponsor and be accompanied by that sponsor during guild events.

If you wish to attend a Zoom meeting please leave a comment below and we will work on sharing the Zoom link with you. Currently we are meeting in person but if we have a speaker we try to also have that go out over Zoom.

We are a Guild with members of all sewing abilities. We love the novice sewer as well as those who have many quilts under their belt. We even have room for people who do not sew but love quilts and their making—but be warned, quilting is contagious, you may catch the quilting bug!

Our guild usually meets on the first Monday of the month with a social hour from 6:15-7:00PM followed by a general meeting and a planned program that usually lasts about an hour.

Occasionally we meet on Friday instead of Monday. Usually when there is a quilting workshop Saturday or a holiday conflict.

One of our projects is Community Quilts which meets on the third Saturday in the month. There we work together making quilts to donate to various charitable causes. This is a great opportunity to sew with other quilters on simple patterns and learn/improve your quilting skills.

On the first Saturday in November we have a quilt auction, currently the major fundraiser for our guild. It also provides the funds that we donate to two local charities. Our members donate quilts, plan and host this event.  Here is a link to our last auction 2022 ACQG Holiday Auction


Mission

  • Promoting knowledge and encouraging the participation in the craft and art of quilting, patchwork, appliqué, and other aspects of quilt making.
  • Being an information network for quilters and promoting continued interest in quilting.
  • Supporting local charities


History

Our guild was founded in July of 1989. It was started by a group who wanted to revitalize the art of quilting. This was in the days before the rotary cutter. Cardboard stencils were state of the art and 100% cotton was hard to find!

We are a 501 c3 approved charity.
