About Us

The Valley Stitchers Guild was formed in October 1967 as an outgrowth of a stitchery class held at the Walnut Creek Art Center in Walnut Creek, CA. Over the years, membership has grown from the original handful of classmates to over 100 active members. The Guild grew to include many different fiber arts and later we changed our name to Valley Stitchers and Fiber Artists Guild. The Guild’s purpose, then as now, is to promote the growth of creativity and originality in the field of textile arts, and to maintain high standards of expertise and accomplishment in this area.
