Welcome to the Evergreen Piecemakers Quilt Guild
Check out what is on our calendar of events
Founding
The Evergreen Piecemakers Quilt Guild was formed in 1981 on a hot summer’s day in an apple orchard in Kent, Washington. The “founding mothers” outgrew the original meeting place and chose to meet at the First Christian Church, 11717 SE 240th, Kent, Washington 98031.
Mission Statement
Evergreen Piecemakers Quilt Guild’s goal is to promote the art of quilting and quiltmaking through workshops, lectures, and exhibitions offered to members and the general public. We will work to preserve the heritage of quiltmaking and quilt appreciation. We provide an informational base for those interested in quiltmaking and related art and encourage excellence in those while providing a source of inspiration and fellowship for quilt enthusiasts. We strive to enrich our lives by the commitments of donations related to quilts and other fiber arts (i.e. quilts, scholarships, time and efforts) to deserving organizations, hospitals, groups or individuals.
