ABOUT US
The Omaha Quilters Guild is one of the
largest organizations in the state with over 400 members
devoted to the "the appreciation and preservation of
quilts and the perpetuation of the art and the craft of
quilt making through education and participation."
The annual quilt show is an opportunity for members to
display their art publically.
In our three philanthropic groups, our Children's
Emergency Fund supports children taken into protective
custody during the holiday season. Community
Connections matches member talents to produce quilts for
a cause. Helping Hands meets the needs of charitable
organizations, both great and small.
Our guild, established in 1975, is richly documented,
and reminds us of our roots. The library is a wonderful
source of inspiration for projects. Members enjoy
popular quilting artists and authors during our
programs. The annual Fall Retreat is a chance to get
away from it all, with fabric and friends. Rising Stars
gets members connected with other quilters, learning
from each other. Small Groups are several friends
sharing the joy of quilting together. Workshops taught
by our speakers offer the opportunity to have hands on
lessons. The Omaha Quilters' Guild offers something for
quilters of all skill levels.
Some people are drawn to admire and collect quilts.
Others enjoy the design and construction of the quilt
itself. Friendships are easily formed because of a
common love of quilts. Grab a friend and visit the
Omaha Quilters' Guild at our next meeting to join in on
the fun.
