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

"Each 1 Teach 1" form (PDF)(Be sure to choose landscape printing). Linda Quinn has made a form available for the "Each 1 Teach 1" project. It is meant to be a resource of Guild members who are willing to share quilting skills and techniques with other Guild members. If you are one of those people please print and fill out the form and return it to Linda.

Viewer's Choice Award Winners have been added to the Quilt Show page. There is a list of all the Quilt Show 2010 winners (PDF) courtesy of Joyce Noell and a slide show of the winning quilts (photos by Joyce Noell).

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
