     Since its founding in 1993, our guild has been a vibrant hub for quilters of all skill levels, from seasoned artisans to eager beginners, fostering a community that celebrates the rich heritage and exciting future of quilting. We believe that quilting is more than just piecing fabric together; it's about connection, education, and giving back. Our mission is to preserve the heritage of quilting by being a source of information, education, and inspiration, all while fostering a high quality of excellence in quilting and related arts. And, true to the generous spirit of quilters, we are deeply committed to creating beautiful items to share with those in need in our community.
     Imagine stepping into a room buzzing with shared passion. That's what you'll find at a Tree City Quilters Guild meeting! Each month, we gather to exchange ideas, learn new techniques from captivating programs, and share our latest creations during the beloved "Show and Tell." The applause and encouraging words you receive for your hard work are truly heartwarming, and the inspiration you gain from seeing others' projects is boundless.
     Beyond the joy of creating, joining our guild opens up a world of benefits. You'll connect with like-minded individuals who understand the allure of a perfectly pieced block or the satisfaction of a finished quilt. Our members generously share their knowledge, tips, and tricks, making it an ideal environment for skill development, no matter where you are on your quilting journey. Plus, you’ll get access to special workshops, potentially discounts at local quilt shops, and the chance to participate in charity projects that truly make a difference in our community. From comforting quilts for hospice patients to bright pillowcases for children at the Ronald McDonald House, our stitches send messages of love and care.
