Beaconsfield Quilters Guild


 
Welcome !

Our guild was formed in 1979 by a group of quilters out of a need to share tips and techniques.  The guild maintains contact with other quilting groups in the Montreal area, as well as provincial and national guilds.  Over the past few years, our membership has grown through the welcoming of new members and it now has both day time and evening meetings. We have enjoyed numerous workshops with well-known quilters over the past few years, teachers such as Nellie Holmes, Carol Doak and Pamela Allen among others, and have had the opportunity to share the talents and skills of our own members through mini-workshops and our annual quilt show.

Two annual retreats also give us the opportunity to socialize and share ideas and discuss new techniques.

Our members contribute much time to do some charity work on the West Island and thanks to their generosity and talent we have had the pleasure of donating many quilts which bring much needed comfort to those in crisis or in poor health.

Our Guild is administered through an Executive. While the day group program differs from that of the evening group, the two share many activities and projects.
