Quilt Company East (QCE) is a quilting guild whose purpose is to: - exchange quilting information and idea
- foster and perpetrate a love for quilting
- educate others about quilting
- enjoy the fellowship of other quilters
Although many of our members come from Pittsburgh and east, our membership extends over the entire Western PA region. We have an approximately 125 members, and an average of 60 to 85 members attending our guild meetings. The skill level for our members range from novice to nationally recognized experts. Everyone is welcome to attend. Meetings are held monthly (with the exception of July and August). We conduct a brief business meeting, have announcements of the guild and other quilting activities, Show N' Tell, and a quilting-related program. The guild activities are a great source of inspiration for the membership and guests. Special projects often include Block-of-the-Month, mystery quilts, challenge quilts and special group projects. QCE is a teaching guild, and we offer a large variety of classes and workshops. For meeting times and location, please click the "Read More" link below.

The newbees group will meet to explore beginning quilting techniques. We encourage any members who are new to quilting to attend, but all members are welcome. Held on the first Saturday of the month, each class will be taught by members of Quilt Company East. Newbees will meet on May 9, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM at the First Baptist of Monroeville, 3970 Monroeville Blvd. (next to the BP station, across the street from Eat n' Park.) Lesson Eight: Our final step in completing our samplers will be to bind and label our quilt. Rebecca Stahl has volunteered to return on May 9 to show us how to make and apply bias binding for a professional finish. We will complete a table runner in class. Even if you’re not ready to bind your sampler, come for this lesson anyway! June will be the “catch up” class if you need help on a missed step. Please bring: Quilted fabric, coordinating fabric and thread, sewing machine, basic sewing and cutting supplies. Quilted fabric can be your quilted homework sample, a table runner you have constructed and quilted, or purchased pre-quilted fabric. The suggested size for quilted fabric: 18” x 18” to 18” x 42”, and a fat quarter for the binding. For further information, contact Elizabeth, at
