Miami
Valley Quilters' Guild
An Ohio Quilt Guild
for Quilters and Fabric Artists in Dayton and Southwest Ohio
The
Miami Valley Quilters' Guild is more than just a club, we are
a diverse group with more than 200 members from all areas of
interest and all quilting skill
levels. Members include quilters, quilt collectors,
quilting teachers, designers and those simply interested in the
art and craft of quilting. Members of the group have varied
interests: traditional quilts and fabric art - hand piecing and
machine work - long-arm machine quilting, home machine quilting
and, of course, hand quilting.
As do other quilt guilds, clubs, and groups in Ohio, the Miami
Valley Quilters' Guild
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, programs, our newsletter, and
our website; and encouragement and recognition through quilt shows, show-and-tell sessions,
challenges, charitable activities, and other
events. We join other Ohio quilt guilds in promoting the history
and tradition of quilting and embrace all quilting techniques, styles, and
methods.
