Kenmore Quilters Guild - About us
Embedded Files
History: Our Guild started in 1977 with Chris Estes with 12 members meeting in her home. According to the Charter, the object of the Guild was twofold: to help promote and preserve the interest and skill of quilting, both as a useful craft and an art form; and to donate time and effort to community service projects.

The group got together for a quick picture during lunch to tout their progress on "Gentle Curves" with visiting teacher Marlous Carter on April 6, 2019. It was a great day for quilting as we worked on new techniques and the "Tidal Pool" pattern by Marlous.
Here is one of our recent Mystery Quilts - with 14 participants, we had quite a variety of finished products with variations of color, value, and overall effect.
Our FABULOUS Program team has put together some great classes for us to always learn something new and make a project together. See the Calendar Tab at the top for upcoming programs (typically held on the 3rd Monday of each month).
