We currently have approximately 72 members.
The
Oconomowoc Quilters Guild was created in 2007. 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.
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 past programs, projects, activities that the guild
members have enjoyed.
