Guild Info

HISTORY

In September 2007, The East Cobb Quilters' Guild celebrated its 25th anniversary. The guild was formed in 1982 by a group of thirty quilters whose vision was to promote and perpetuate the art of quilting. Our members share a love of quilting and welcome those with a similar interest. What started 25 years ago as a small group has grown to a guild of almost 300 members. The guild meets monthly (except November) to enjoy lectures, workshops or demonstrations by an array of talented quilters representing all styles of quilting. Many Guild members are internationally recognized teachers, editors, authors and designers, having quilts exhibited throughout the world and featured in many quilt-related publications.

QUILT SHOW

One of the Guild's proudest achievements is the biennial Quilt Show, "Georgia Celebrates Quilts". As many as 400 quilts from all over Georgia are displayed. Many quilt-related retailers are on hand offering all the latest fabrics and gadgets. The scope of artistry is truly something to see. The next show will be held in Sept 2009.

PURPOSE

The guild is intended to benefit and educate those interested in preserving and continuing the art of quilting. Through our quilt show and Community Service projects, we continue to promote and perpetuate this rich and diverse art. Quilters of all skill levels are invited to become active members and join us on the journey that is quilting. Additional guild information is available by following the links to the left.
