The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles
The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles was formed in 1979 and promotes and maintains for the public benefit the art history heritage and techniques of the allied crafts of patchwork, appliqué and quilting. It is the national organisation representing quilt makers throughout the country. Traditional and contemporary work is of equal importance within the guild, and membership is open to anyone who works in patchwork, appliqué and quilting or has an interest in quilts. The guild holds charitable status, and is based in St Anthony's Hall, York.
