Guild Bio:

The North Country Quilting Guild, based in Watertown NY, was founded 42 years ago in 1984 by several local women looking to share an interest in needlework and carve some time out of their busy lives to explore their creativity. The guild’s membership has risen and fallen and risen again and we currently have around 70 members. The times and places we meet have changed to accommodate our needs and we have been pulled along by the excitement of all the quilting innovations of the past decades. What has never changed is our commitment to welcome, encourage, and support quilters of all levels in their quilting journeys. Each year we enjoy classes, workshops, and trunk shows designed to expand our skills and knowledge of our craft. Yearly retreats are a  welcome chance to quilt together. Our Caring and Sharing committee oversees the creation and distribution of quilts and toiletry bags made by our members for local community organizations like Hospice and Victims’ Assistance. Every two years we hold a 3 day Quilt Show, featuring hundreds of quilts, at the Cerow Center in Clayton. This event is an opportunity for us to share with the larger community all of the various styles and skills represented by our talented and passionate quilters.
