About The Guild

The Norfolk County Quilters’ Guild is a non-profit organization whose objectives are:

  1. to promote an appreciation of and to contribute to the knowledge of the art and craftsmanship associated with quilting, patchwork, and fibre arts;
  2. to encourage performance in the craft by providing educational opportunities and a forum for fellowship and exchange of experience, information, and ideas;
  3. to encourage high standards of colour, design, and technique in quilting, patchwork, and fibre arts.

Guild History

In February 1984 a group of quilting friends met at the home of Golda Lounsbury.  Ten women were founding members of the guild and joined CQA in that year. The mission of the guild was to preserve the art of quilting, learn new techniques and use our craft as an instrument to participate in community projects. 

Since their first year, the Norfolk County Quilters’ Guild has contributed to Norfolk County Fair displays and demonstrations, as well as having works exhibited in areas throughout the county.
