About Heritage Quilters of Huntsville
Our History
Heritage Quilters of Huntsville was formed on June 18, 1987. Our charter year began with 88 active members. Current charter members are listed in our Directory with an asterisk (*) next to their names. We are now over 300 members strong, and growing. The Guild has members who represent all skill levels of quilting from the beginner to the highly skilled quilter.
Our Purpose
As a not-for-profit organization, our purpose is to stimulate an interest in quilts, promote and advance the art of quilt making, conduct educational programs, and share skills with one another in the design and techniques of quilt making. Membership is open to anyone that enjoys quilting.
Executive Board
Our guild is run by a Board that is made up of hard-working executive board and committee chair members. The names and phone numbers of the board members may be found in the newsletter and in the front of the Directory. These members work diligently to maintain and support a guild membership of approximately 300+ quilters.
Meetings
We meet the third Thursday of every month at Faith Presbyterian Church, located at the corner of Whitesburg Drive and Airport Road (5003 Whitesburg Dr.), in Huntsville, AL. Everyone is encouraged to arrive about 6:30 PM and to use the time from 6:30 to 7:00 to visit any of the tables and talk to members about various activities and projects, socialize with others, sign up for workshops, etc. Our program starts at 7:00 PM.
