History
The
Thousand Islands Quilters’ Guild was started in May 1987 by an
enthusiastic group of women who had been meeting regularly to quilt and
discuss, share and trade ideas in quilting techniques. In order to share
their love of working and designing with fabric, a Quilters’ Guild was
created. The first general meeting was held in Brockville, Ontario on
September 24, 1987.
The
objectives of the Guild are as follows:
To
provide a place for quilters to meet and exchange ideas
To
form a vehicle for bringing qualified quilting experts to Brockville for
seminars and workshops
To
work on community projects in quilting
