The Quilters Guild of Indianapolis, Inc. is a non-profit organization open to anyone interested in quilts or quilting. We offer a wide variety of guild activities throughout the year, including workshops with nationally recognized speakers, charity projects, smaller “quilting bee” groups, a retreat, and our bi-annual quilt show.

Meetings are held monthly in three different locations and at three different times, giving members and guests an opportunity to attend any one, or all three.  Our yearly dues are only $25.

The evening meeting is our General Meeting and large group gathering, where we feature programs by nationally known quilters. Two daytime meetings are held for smaller groups, one on the north side of Indianapolis (QGI North), and one on the south side (Out to Lunch Bunch). Each has its’ own speakers and programs.

President’s Greeting from Mary Strinka

Welcome to the Quilters Guild of Indianapolis!

I’m happy and excited, honored and humbled to be taking on this leadership role in the guild this year.

2013 will mark the Guild’s 35th birthday, and we hope to carry on the mission of QGI :

To promote, share, and encourage the art of quilting

To provide an open forum for the exchange of quilting information

To provide members with varied activities to practice old and/or learn new skills related to quilting.

We are a large active guild supporting a wide variety of quilting styles and levels of expertise.  I hope as you browse the rest of the website, you will be impressed with the many ways that the guild gives us to interact and share our common interests.

In 2013, your opportunities to participate in guild activities consist of

12 monthly daytime meetings in the Carmel area

10 monthly daytime meetings in the Greenwood area

12 monthly evening meetings on North Meridian St, featuring many national speakers

8 all-day workshops to learn new techniques and skills

2 weekend retreats, in Columbus, IN, and Madison, IN

9 all-day charity quilt work days

2 (or more) ways to contribute to National Quilting Day in March

2 days of our bi-annual Quilt Show in October in Westfield

3 or 4 cutting/counting days to assemble quilt top kits for charity

6 executive board meetings

Uncountable smaller get-togethers of our “beelet” groups in member’s homes and other places

Plenty of volunteer opportunities for you to add your own talents!

My wish for you is that when we look back on the year 2013 next winter, we’ll all see it as a baker’s dozen:   I hope that you get everything that you expect, and a little more.
