The Palm Beach County Quilters Guild was founded in 1985 to promote knowledge of and interest in quilt-making. As a not-for-profit, the guild loves to give back to its community, donating 200-plus quilts a year to many local community organizations.

The Palm Beach County Quilters Guild is open to everyone interested in quilts, from quilt-makers to quilt appreciators.

The guild meets monthly on the fourth Saturday at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The meetings are from 10 a.m. to noon, and, if scheduled, a special class or outreach program starts at 12:30 p.m., following the meeting.

To join the guild, or for more information, call Stinson at (561) 790-5245 or visit the group’s web site at www.palmbeachcountyquiltersguild.com.
