Champlain Valley Quilt Guild

Show Dates:

October 15th - November 15th, 2026

Artist Reception:

Sunday, October 18th, 2 – 4 pm

The Champlain Valley Quilt Guild has been in existence for 46 years, gathering to promote an interest in quilting and to educate and inspire quilters.  Currently there are about 100 members.

Some of the artisans in this show have been quilting for years, indeed making a living through their art; others have only recently begun quilting, while some have been quilting for quite a while.    In this show you will see patchwork, applique, and other techniques for the quilt tops.  A quilt, by definition, has 3 layers, - the top, a batting in the middle, and a backing.  This “sandwich” is sewn together with quilting, which can be from simple to very elaborate; both the top and the quilting can show the sewist’s skill in design and technique. 

The Champlain Valley Quilt Guild is very active in the community.  Quilts are made and given to Camp Ta-Kum-Ta for pediatric cancer patients;  we also supply quilts to Quilts Across America which provides bedding for children through the Sleep in Heavenly Peace Program.  Members also donate quilts to the Quilts of Valor program honoring veterans of our armed forces.  Hundreds of pillowcases have been sewn and donated to the pediatric ward at the University of Vermont Hospital.  They are proud of their generous and talented members who take the time to sew and donate quilts.
