MVQG
Charter Members
The Miami Valley Quilters’ Guild was officially organized as a
non-profit, tax exempt organization on September 24, 1980.
As stated in the original Constitution, the purposes of the
guild are: to join hands in friendship; to encourage high
standards of design, technique, and creativity in quilting; to
promote the appreciation and preservation of quilts; to preserve
the art of quilt making; and to further the art of quilting
through education and communication.
Suellen Wassem while teaching at the Daisy Barrel in Fairborn recongnized that there were many individuals interested in
quilting. She called for those interested to attend an
interest meeting, and, she said, she was overwhelmed by the
number who responded.
While official organizational plans were completed, all members
who joined the Guild between September 24, 1980, and December
31, 1981, are considered as the Guilds’ Charter Members.
