We currently have over 60 members.
The Oconomowoc Quilters Guild was created in September 2006. There were 25 members at the first meeting, and 40 members by the end of the first year. Several of the founding members were also active in Patch Lives Quilt Guild from Wales, WI. Their assistance and experiences have been invaluable in directing and establishing our guild. Our membership still continues to grow.
A sampling of the programs, projects, and activities that the guild members have enjoyed includes retreats, raffles, and races! You are welcome to arrive at 1 PM on the Thursday of our meeting to participate in Open Sew activities or sewing on Comfort Quilts. Typically, our meetings start at 6:30 PM with a monthly meeting followed by our speaker or activity from 7-8 PM. Finally, we take a short break for snacks before holding our monthly Show & Tell.
See the Calendar webpage for upcoming activities with our guild, and the Upcoming Quilt Shows webpage for quilting-related activities in southeastern Wisconsin & elsewhere!
