Missoula Quilters' Guild
QUILT SHOW Bi-annual Quilt Show: In the spring of even-numbered years. COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECTS Quilts for Kids: This is an ongoing community service project dedicated to supplying handmade quilts to children in need of a hug. The quilts are distributed through the hospitals, Health Department and other agencies. Every guild member is encouraged to make at least one quilt a year for this need. Kits are available at each meeting. HISTORY The Missoula Quilters' Guild began in 1986. Six ladies interested in quilting met in one another’s homes each month. The quilters brought their recent work for "Show and Tell." They discussed their work and exchanged ideas. As the membership grew, the group began meeting at the Southgate Mall Community Room. From 1992 to 1997, they met at Country Friends Quilt Shop in the old Spaghetti Station Warehouse building. In 1998, the guild moved to a local church and then to its present location at the FairBridge Inn. |
