The Lake Quilters Guild was established in January of 1990 to serve the communities surrounding Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing good fellowship and the interchange of ideas to those interested in the art and craft of quilting. It is also our goal to interact with the community and to create an understanding of all aspects of quilting through education, sharing, enjoying and appreciation each other's work. As a special service to the community, we make items for donation to charitable organizations.

The Guild meets at 1 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month, except in the months of June and December. Meetings are held at Trinity Ecumenical Parish located on Rte. 122. Visitors are welcome. For more details (meetings, membership, officers) see About the Guild

Quilted Expressions of Love for Carol: Tamera and the staff at Quilted Expressions in Lynchburg would like to reach out to Carol and her family and other families who lost loved ones in the Appomattox shootings by making patchwork quillos for them. She is asking that anyone who wishes to support this effort send a 5" square of fabric to her at Quilted Expressions. Please read Tamera's letter for detailed information (click here for letter). After the quillo is made for Carol there will be information posted on QuiltedExpressions.com.

Material Girls Annual Retreat: In January the Material Girls Bee spent a week sewing in Fredericksburg, VA. At the end of the week they assembled all their projects, which totaled approximately 70, and took a picture. However, all projects could not fit into the frame! View Photo

Sue Dixon presented our January Program. She had lots of suggestion on organizing an existing quilting space. If you want a print-out of Sue's presentation here it is! - Organizing an Existing Quilt Space-Acrobat PDF or Organizing an Existing Quilt Space-MS Word Doc.

A slideshow of our December Luncheon has been added to the Show & Tell page. This also includes the 2009 Challenge quilts.
