About the Guild

The purposes of the Monterey Peninsula Quilters Guild are:

  • To preserve the heritage of the beauty, diligence and love which are embodied in those quilts which have been handed down to us
  • To acknowledge and encourage a concern for excellence of design and craftsmanship as we perpetuate this American Folk Art
  • To become a source of information, education and inspiration
  • To further the personal rewards of companionship among quilters sharing a common interest
    • Organized in 1979, MPQG is a non-profit organization with over 250 members involved in many community service projects. Meetings are held monthly and programs are always inspiring. June is the Quilt Show where we hold a drawing for the opportunity quilt. Proceeds from these events support the guild's wonderful programs and community projects.

    We make quilts in two sizes: small baby quilts for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Natividad Medical Center and adult size lap quilts for the Dialysis Center at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. We presented over 100 'preemie' quilts and over 50 lap quilts to these groups.

    We're continuing these projects. If you would like to help, check out a quilt kit from our community liaison representative at the next meeting, then bring the finished quilt back at a following meeting. For more information or to make a donation to the projects please e-mail: info@mpqg.org
