ABOUT US


Sew Glad you Stop By! - Animated Gif

Welcome and join us as we celebrate 26 years of quilting excellence!

The Ottawa Valley Quilters Guild (OVQG) was started in 1981 by three quilters-Ann Bird, Joyce Legault and Isabel Johnston. Since that time, we have grown to a membership of 400. The purpose of the Guild is to share ideas and projects, and to foster the art of quilting.

At monthly meetings members enjoy a rich and varied program ranging from guest speakers and films to participation in group projects, mini-workshops and the always popular "Show & Tell" of members' work. Refreshments are provided.

New members are always welcome. Whether you are a novice or an advanced quilter, we are sure the Guild will be of interest to you. Executive & Committee members of the Guild act as hostesses to welcome new members and to answer any questions you may have.
