The Chambersburg Quilt Guild was founded in 1982. Currently we have more that 150 members with skill levels ranging from beginner to expert. Our members come from Central Pennsylvania, Central Maryland and even a few from Northern Virginia.
We meet on the second Saturday of the month from September to May at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (click here for directions) in Chambersburg. Our meetings include lectures by nationally-known teachers, lectures by our own talented members, a Christmas Tea, a Grand Feast, trunk shows and, recently, a very successful auction.
We also host two weekend quilt retreats each year, one in the fall and one in spring. Additionally, we plan bus trips to regional quilts shows such as the Lancaster Quilt Show and guild member Melissa Molino’s Quilt Odyssey in Hershey.
The Chambersburg Quilt Guild participates in a number of service projects throughout the year, such as making baby and doll quilts, sharing our raffle quilt proceeds with local organizations, and donating member-made quilts to be auctioned at charity events. Members have demonstrated quiltmaking at regional heritage events.
Every other year the guild produces a quilt show at Chamberfest - Celebrate the Arts! During our 2005 quilt show, we hosted visitors from our sister city, Gotemba, Japan. Each guest received a small quilt made especially for them by a guild member.
