                                                        QUILT GUILDS: KINDRED SPIRITS

                                                        The New England Quilt Museum is very 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.
