Why Join?

Why join The Quilters' Guild of The British Isles?

These are some of the reasons:

• Events organised by The Guild can be found in your area and as a Guild member, you have reduced entry fees for Guild events regionally and nationally.
• Enjoy an excellent conference weekend with lots of workshops and speakers.
• Keep up to date with what is happening locally via your Regional Newsletter - three or four issues each year.
• Receive 4 copies a year of our magazine The Quilter and read quality articles and excellent reports.
• Borrow books and study packs from our large library facility of over 1,700 books.
• Use of the Members' Room at our Quilt Museum and Gallery where you can enjoy a quiet seat and a cup of tea or coffee free.
• Improve your skills and make new friends at our workshops and retreats.
• Support an important educational charity which encourages people of all ages to take up the craft.
• Become a volunteer and influence what happens in your Guild.
• For an additional fee you can join one of our four specialist groups learning more about quilt heritage with BQSG, Miniature quilts, Traditional quilts or Contemporary quilts.
• Share friendship, enthusiasm, learning opportunities ... the list goes on for members of The Guild!

All of this costs just 72p per week - less than the price of a packet of needles or a cup of tea!
