Today the Sunshine Coast Quilters’ Guild is the “umbrella”
organization for eight local community quilt groups from
Pender Harbour to Gibsons, with a membership of 175. The
guild promotes the joy of quilting on the Coast by providing
enjoyment through quilt shows, classes, demonstrations and
displays.
We continue to meet 5 days throughout our Guild year, from
September to May at the Davis Bay Elementary School. Our
meetings consist of Mini-Workshops, Business Meetings, Show
and Tell, and a Program.
