Monadnock Quilters' Guild
Mission: To promote the art of quilting through education.
To share our love of fabric, design and color - to be inspired and encouraged by one another and to supply quilts for those in need.
Our members are as varied as any quilt ever made.
There are more than 60 members from 12 different towns in the region, all sharing a common thread - the love of quilting.
Our experience levels range from beginner to expert. Activities include monthly meetings,
workshops, a biennial quilt show, cozy covers and more. Guests and non-quilters are always welcome.
