The Chatham-Kent Quilters’ Guild, founded in 1998, is a vibrant and welcoming community of quilters based in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. Dedicated to preserving the art of quilting, the guild brings together individuals of all skill levels to share their passion, knowledge, and creativity. Members can participate in workshops, attend meetings and collaborate on various quilting projects. The guild also plays a significant role in community outreach, with many members contributing quilts to local charities and initiatives. Through its commitment to fostering a supportive environment, the Chatham-Kent Quilters’ Guild continues to inspire and nurture a love for quilting in the region.
We are back to IN PERSON meetings but we offer HYBRID for those that are more comfortable staying home in January and February. If you would like to visit us at one of our meetings ($10.00/guest), please send us a message through our Facebook page for more information.
