We currently have approximately 36 members.
The Oconomowoc Quilters Guild was
created in October 2006. There were 25 members at the first meeting,
and 40 members by the end of the first year. At the end of 2009
there were 78 members. We had 71 members at the end of
2011.
Several of the founding members were also active in Patch Lives
Quilt Guild from Wales, WI. Their assistance and experience
has been invaluable in directing and establishing our guild.
Below is a sampling of the programs, projects, activities that the guild
members have enjoyed.
