WELCOME TO QUILT COMPANY EAST QUILT GUILD
Meetings usually start at 7:00 PM at the Beulah Presbyterian Church at 2500 McCrady Road, Pittsburgh, PA, 15235 (for now we are holding some of our meetings as hybrid and some as virtual). We normally meet the third Monday of each month, September through June but sometimes adjust our schedule to accommodate holidays. Check the time and date on our program page as some meetings may be moved to other times or venues. Quilt Company East Quilt Guild is more than just a club, we are a diverse group with more than 90 members from all areas of interest and all quilting skill levels. Members include quilters, collectors of quilts, quilting teachers, designers and those simply interested in the art and craft of quilting. Our members come from throughout the Pittsburgh area of Western Pennsylvania including Allegheny, Westmoreland, Washington, Indiana, Fayette, Mercer, Armstrong, Erie, and Mahoning (Ohio) counties. Our members have varied interests: traditional and art quilts, hand piecing and machine work, long-arm machine quilting, home machine quilting and hand-quilting, applique, and machine embroidery. Sharing our quilts with our relatives, our friends, and the community is an important part of our mission. Quilt Company East, founded in 1987 is a non-profit guild that provides quilters with education and instruction through classes and workshops; inspiration and growth through meetings featuring accomplished quilters, quilt designers, and quilting teachers; fellowship and support through meetings, retreats, biennial shows, programs, our newsletter, and our website; and encouragement and recognition through quilt shows, show-and-tell sessions, challenges, charitable activities, and other events. Every other year, sharing our quilts takes the form of a quilt show. Join us for great fun, new ideas, and educational experiences to further the knowledge and appreciation of quilting. |
