Winter is setting in, which means less getting out to be around friends. It is important that we keep in touch and get out among people when roads are good. We stay happier when we are able to do that. […]

35 Years in the Making On May 25, 1983, fifty very creative individuals got together and decided to create a Guild—a group of people who would get together to create beautiful quilts and help out the Quad Cities communities at the same time. On July 7, 1983, the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild was officially organized in the state of Iowa. While the Guild has evolved since its formation, with new ways to make quilts, more machine quilters now than hand quilters and opportunities to connect via the internet, many things also remain the same.
