Membership in the Merrimack Valley Quilters Guild is open to anyone interested in the art of quilting. You do not need to be a quilter to join us. Our membership currently stands at 130 members, with room to grow! We would love to have you join us.
Annual dues of $35 are payable by June 30th for the guild year running from July to June. Membership includes free raffle tickets for the current Raffle Quilt. We also have a student membership category for ages 13-19 for only $5.
If you would like to visit us as a guest, we charge a $5.00 guest fee, payable only in months when we have a featured speaker.
Several months a year, we feature speakers at our Guild meeting. Many of our speakers are well known and often offer accompanying workshops to teach their techniques. Past speakers have included Timna Tarr, Pat Harrison, Kathy Beltz, David Sirota, Sue Pelland, Linda Warren, Adele Scott, Sue Michaels, and Amy Friend. We have also had virtual workshops with acclaimed quilters, notably David Owen Hastings.
Meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month from September through June. The exception is November and December. We have one holiday meeting on the first Thursday of December. All meetings are held at the Northern Essex Community College campus in Haverhill, MA, at the Technology Center, Conference Room 103B. The building is fully handicapped-accessible and has ample parking.
