Wiltwyck Quilters Guild

Members of the Wiltwyck Quilters Guild meet on the third Saturday of each month from September to May at the Ulster Town Hall outside of Kingston, NY. Since its first meeting in the Fall of 1977, the purpose of the guild has been

  • to preserve the tradition and history of quiltmaking
  • to foster awareness of and be receptive to creative innovation in the art
  • to promote and sponsor interest and appreciation in all areas of quiltmaking among our members and the general public, and
  • to encourage friendship and the exchange of ideas.

The Guild, which now numbers 156 members, recently held its biennial quilt show, A RAINBOW OF QUILTS at the Senate Gymnasium of the SUNY Ulster campus in Stone Ridge, NY. Over 200 quilts and quilt wearables were displayed, as well as a special Art Doll exhibit. There were over 1000 visitors to the show on October 14 and 15. Here are some of the quilts that the visitors enjoyed seeing.

Would you like to exhibit your guild's quilts in the NQA Chapter Gallery?

The NQA Chapter Gallery will highlight an NQA Chapter on our website for a period of 6 weeks.

An NQA Chapter will provide NQA with 8-12 digital photos of quilts selected by the chapter, along with a brief description of each quilt. Each chapter will also provide The Chapter Gallery with a short history of their chapter, which may contain any interesting information that they wish to share about themselves.

NQA will furnish the time slot available for them as well as guidelines on the details required for each quilt photograph.

If your guild is an active NQA Chapter and is interested in appearing on The NQA Chapter Gallery, please contact the NQA office at PO Box 12190, Columbus, OH 43212-0190 or via email at nqaquilts@sbcglobal.net.
