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

The Instructors' Quilt for the 2008 BOM "Flowers of Virginia" was raffled "in house" (LQG members only).The winner was announced at the June General Meeting. View the Instructors' Quilt. To see other 2008 BOM Quilts click here.

In April Paula Ulrich, Ellen Servidea and Carol MacMullan, attended the third guild sponsored Beginning Basics of Quilting (BBQ) Workshop and the second one held at the home of Kate Holdgreve. Paula, Ellen and Carol are all new guild members and new quilters. They spent the week concentrating on fabric selection, accurate measuring, cutting and piecing. By the end of the week they had pieced 7-9 traditional blocks, put them into either a wall hanging or table runner. Finally, they quilted their projects. A good time was had by all. Submitted by Kate Holdgreve, Workshop Leader. View Slide Show of the Workshop. Close the slide show window to return to this page.

Don't Forget... Ann Ochs, our Library Chair, maintains a list of all the books, DVDs, and videos in our Library. That list is available online on the Library page and it is updated quarterly. So, check it out!
