Our El Campo Casual Quilt Guild started with a group of 10 women making baby quilts in the 1990s. In 2005 they formed a quilt guild. They met at the Boys & Girls Club during the school year. Then at a building called the Northside Center during the summer months where we still meet. We currently have 38 members. We meet the first Wednesday of each month.

Each year we make two quilts and raffle them off. This money is used to buy supplies for the items we make and donate. We call ourselves the Casual Quilters because we do not have strict rules. Our main purpose is to have fun while we quilt!

The Quilt Guild of Metro Detroit is a traditional quilt guild but have a wide variety of talent amongst us. Normally we meet at a church in Harper woods, Michigan, but yet again due to Covid we are meeting exclusively digital.

Each month we usually feature speakers from all over, and we hold a retreat once a year, and a quilt show every other year. This year, as all of the above have been canceled – we are trying to get more hands-on. So we are going to be doing your BOM, as well as offering a mystery quilt and a few member-led workshops.

The  Disconnected Piecers Quilt Guild Inc. was formed in May 1994 by 14 original members who came together to attend the National Quilt Show in Paducah, KY. Each of the women were from different states and countries with the common love of quilts and quilting, so they named themselves the “Disconnected Piecers” based out of Port Charlotte, FL. They also intend to encourage and provide opportunity for the exchange of quilting ideas and projects for beginners on up.

Their guild has monthly meetings with programs, show and tell, door prizes & treats. They are a 501(c)3 organization and community service is a high priority! Donations include lap quilts to Tidewell Hospice,and nap quilts to the Head Start Program of Charlotte County. They have a biennial quilt show (even years), go on quilt retreats & bus trips. They also have local & national teachers for classes and workshops. They are a very friendly and diverse group of quilters! Over the years the Guild has grown to over 100 members!
