Our History
1993
The Friendship Quilt Guild began in 1993 with the gathering of 5 quilters at the local library. Within a few months, there were 24 members. Since then, the guild has continued to grow and change to best serve area quilters.
1995
The guild has sought to invest in the community through making 'care quilts' to give to needy charities. In 1995, the guild hosted their first Quilt Show with 91 quilted items and almost 300 attendees.
Since then, the show has grown to span two days and attracts over 1,000 attendees! 'Challenge quilts,' which are donated to charity, have become a feature aspect of the shows.
2005
The guild was granted 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt status.
2026
As of 2026 the guild is 60 members strong and have given away over 300 quilts to Washington County Veterans as well as numerous "care quilts."
