Olde Kent Quilters Guild
Are you a quilter, or perhaps just quilting-curious?
We’d love to have you join us!
In addition to our monthly programs and workshops our guild activities include community outreach, shows and exhibits, special interest bees, retreats, road trips and shop hops.
All skill levels – beginners to advanced – are welcome!
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month (January – November) at the Presbyterian Church of Chestertown, Maryland.
Join Our Guild
The Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay provides all the inspiration a quilter might need — at least the Olde Kent Quilters think so! Founded in 1995 and based in Chestertown, MD, the guild has 70+ members whose quilting styles range from very traditional to modern and skill levels from beginner to expert. Guild activities include a monthly program and workshop, two annual retreats, road trips and shop hops. Some members also meet monthly in one or more of the guild’s bees to pursue special interests in areas such as modern, applique, reproduction quilting, hand-stitching and creative design.
The guild’s charity quilting program, Deborah’s Angels, has donated more than 3000 baby quilts to various children’s hospitals, social service organizations and disaster relief efforts since its inception in 2004. The guild hosts a quilt show and market every other year as well as an exhibit of small quilts every year at Heron Point.
