About Us

 

The Grand Quilt Guild was formed in 1996 to preserve, promote and expand the heritage of quilting within our community through education and intergenerational sharing of ideas, skills and love of the craft. The Grand Quilt Guild is comprised of people who enjoy quilting, from beginners to accomplished artists.  The Guild promotes quilting and needlework and is proud of its community endeavours. Each year, the Guild donates quilts and quilt related items to support worthy charities.

An Executive, presented at the Annual General Meeting, governs the Grand Quilt Guild.  The Guild operates under the Constitution and Standing Rules contained in the handbook. 

Working together as a team, the Executive plans, coordinates and supports Guild Activities.
