Welcome to the
Decatur Quilt Guild
The Decatur Quilt Guild is a not-for-profit organization, which strives to spread the art of quilting to all who are interested. Members do many charity projects, such as making quilt for wounded soldiers returning from war, quilts for Project Linus, as well as charity quilts which are given to a non-profit organization to help them in their fund-raising efforts. The Decatur Quilt Guild also provides mini-quilt shows to area nursing homes and is also a participant in the National Quilt Day.
The longer members are involved with this organization, the more they become aware of the comfort that quilts bring to those who need comforting. It is the Members' hope that they make their situation a little more tolerable.
Cynthia England visits the Decatur Quilt Guild
Cynthia England joined the Decatur Quilt Guild in June to teach her "paper-pieced" art quilts. With her Texas accent and wonderful sense of humor, Cynthia entertained us all and taught us a ton! Her quilts are phenomenal works of art and have to been seen in person to really appreciate the detail and effort that goes into all of her quilts.
The Decatur Quilt Guild welcomes Pat Speth!
We were honored to have Pat Speth come to town to teach several classes on her Nickel Quilt method. Members were able to attend classes as well as a lecture/trunk show by Pat. Her method has all of us collecting 5" squares of fabric and dreaming of exciting new projects.
