Introduction

The Four Corners Quilters’ Guild was established in 1998, with the name reflecting the origins of the founding members who lived in the four townships of Egremont, Normanby, Arthur and Minto. We have anywhere from 30 to 60 members who travel to meetings from a wide local radius to build their skills and participate in charitable activities.

As a community-based, volunteer organization, we have four main objectives, as defined by our Constitution:

To promote the art of quilting
To provide learning opportunities for members
To provide opportunities for fellowship and support
To provide meaningful contributions to our communities

Anyone with an interest in quilting is welcome to join the guild. Our meetings feature a Show and Tell which is an opportunity to show a project that you are working on or have completed. You may also “show” anything that is quilt-related that you think would interest our members. As an incentive for participating, we hold a draw each meeting, which is a small, quilting-related item.

Some months we will feature a block and give instructions for making it. Someone will demonstrate the methods used and will answer any questions or concerns you may have.

The guild is managed by an elected Executive, four standing committees and a number of support positions. Every member is encouraged to participate on a committee or serve in a support position.

The guild meets monthly (except July and August) in Mount Forest, Ontario the second Tuesday of each month. More recently, January, February, and March are Zoom meetings.
