South Bay Quilters Guild invites people of all sewing-skills to join! Our guild is the perfect place to meet new people, make new friends, learn more about quilting, and find out about how you can help our philanthropic endeavors. We are a 501C Non-Profit and we hold a Quilt Show each year to fund philanthropic endeavors asking each member to participate.

MEMBER DUTIES
MEMBER BENEFITS
- Improve your quilting skills
- Attend monthly guild meetings, in-person or virtual, to hear a guest lecturer on a variety of quilting topics. Find out what’s going on in the various committees (Philanthropy, Travel, Intra-Guild, Quilt Show, etc.), spend time with friends, have a snack, and browse the Free Table! See Meetings and Programs page for more information.
- Get discounted rates on the six quilting Workshops that are provided throughout the year, taught by established, sometimes nationally known quilt artists.
- Make Friends
- Do you want to attend a Guild meeting? The meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month. Click for meeting details.
- Receive invitations to join our virtual Sew-ins that take place three times per week. You can sit in the comfort of your own home, sew your own project (or not), and ask questions about the Guild and your sewing project. It's hard to get to know other members by just going to the Guild meetings. The virtual Sew-ins allow you to get to know and become friends with other members.
