About Farmington Valley Quilters, Inc.
The Farmington Valley Quilters is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to preserve
the tradition, culture and history of quilting, to promote knowledge and understanding of
all aspects of quilting, and to promote good fellowship among all persons interested in the
art of quilting. The Guild was organized by Sherry Burke, Betsy Henebry, Lucille Ladden,
Elaine Nichols, Elaine O’ Leary and Carol Sherrill. Elaine O’ Leary served as the Guild’s
first President. The first meeting of the Farmington Valley Quilters was held on January
16, 1991. The group has continued to grow through the years to its current 100+ members.
The meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at Eno Memorial Hall, 754
Hopmeadow St., Simsbury, CT 06070. The meeting begins at 6:45pm. The annual membership fee
of $25 entitles members to monthly meetings, access to a monthly newsletter, and the opportunity
to participate in Guild sponsored workshops. The membership year runs from July 1 to June 30.
Guests are always welcome to attend meetings. A guest fee of $5 is requested at meetings with a
guest speaker. Most meetings include a Show & Tell by members and either a lecture,
demonstration, or hands-on workshop. Members or nationally known quilters offer workshops
throughout the year. Members of the Guild may participate in several ongoing activities such as
Friendship Blocks and an annual Quilt Challenge. Members may also participate in the Mystery
Quilt, bus trips, the fabric swap program and the creation of quilts for charitable organizations.
The Guild held public quilt shows in October, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. Planning is
currently underway for Quilter’s Showcase VI in the fall of 2008.
The Farmington Valley Quilters offers members and guests many opportunities for
inspiration, encouragement, knowledge and friendship. Membership is open to anyone
who is interested in quilting!
