Who We Are

The Tompkins County Quilters Guild is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 1974 to provide education in the art and history of quilting, and to support and encourage the practices and pleasures of quilt-making amongst our members and the local community.

What We Do

We meet twice monthly, mostly in person, occasionally online, for programs that showcase quilters’ work, quilting styles and techniques, perspectives on the social value of quilting and many other aspects of the art. We welcome anyone to join us at a meeting.

We hold numerous quilting retreats at local venues and online, allowing time away for sewing together in an environment of encouragement and creativity.

We enjoy group projects—block exchanges, “Round Robin” quilt-building, various challenges—that inspire creativity beyond our customary ideas.

We make quilts for local and national charities.

Once or twice a year, we offer workshops giving participants a hands-on introduction to a wide range of quilting skills, designs and practices.

We hold occasional social events where quilting friends meet and share fun, stories and ideas. We publish a monthly newsletter and maintain a library for members.

We maintain an archive of Guild history, presentations, events and members' work.

Anyone with an interest in quilting is invited to join. We love beginners!
