YHQG today
Our guild strives to preserve the heritage of quilt making as a craft and as an art form. Our members promote learning, sharing and workmanship with each other and with the community. Membership is open to all those interested in quilts and quilt making, and in enhancing the knowledge of quilting within the group and the community
We do this by bringing talented and creative quilt designers as speakers and to teach their special skills in workshops; by providing access to a large library of quilting and quilt-related books, magazines, and videos; by putting people together who share a passion for quilting in a warm and open environment at our monthly meetings and other scheduled events; and by hosting challenges, charity quilting bees, quilt shows and many other events and activities which provide opportunities for members to expand their knowledge and skills.
