Formed in 1983 by a group of eleven quilters in St. George, Utah, the group met monthly to share their knowledge and joy of quilting. They were soon joined by more women interested in this art, and today have a membership of 185+ women and men of all ages. In 1989, the Guild started publishing a newsletter, holding workshops, and quilting for local charities. In 2007 the Guild hosted its first quilt show, which was a great success drawing in non-quilters and quilters alike from surrounding areas to view the quilts. Several of the members are known nationally and internationally for their outstanding contributions to traditional quilting projects, art quilts, and wearable art. The Dixie Quilt Guild has succeeded in putting St. George on the map in the national quilting community. The Dixie Quilt Guild, a non-profit organization with a website, always welcomes new members with meetings at the County Library on the first Saturday of each month (except during July and August) at 10:30. Free Day (Museum open from 10-9pm) and free Quilt Guild Conversation will take place at 7pm on November 20, the 3rd Tuesday. Don’t miss First Night at the Art Museum where you can view the Quilt exhibit and see related student art, as well as to participate in hands-on activities from 7 to 11pm (a button is required), the theme is A Quilt Explosion: Sparkle & Stitch Yourself Into the New Year.
