QUILT GUILDS:
KINDRED SPIRITS

The New England Quilt Museum is extremely grateful for the support of area quilt guilds.

If the Museum's mission is to preserve and promote this wonderful art form, local guilds are the heart and soul of that mission. 

We urge new and veteran quilters to get involved in a quilt guild.
There is no better way to jump-start your quilt-making skills, and no better place to make friends to last a lifetime.

Coming in September 2013
MEET THE TEACHERS

Once again, the museum is offering a chance for guild program chairs and reps to meet a host of great teachers with fun meeting and workshop ideas for your guild.

The date of the next Meet the Teachers event is being nailed down now, but we expect it will be held in September.
Check back here often for updates.

For more information, guild reps and program chairs can also email their personal contact at the museum, Cheryl Dennis.
Send your emails to membership@nequiltmuseum.org.
Cheryl will be in touch when the Meet the Teachers date is set.
Be sure she has the right name and email address for your guild reps.
