Charlotte Quilters' Guild

In January of 1977, Sue McCarter taught an advanced class in quilting to
seven women who decided to continue to quilt together. In April 1977,
they were chartered through NQA and called themselves the Charlotte
Quilters' Guild. They collected no dues nor had a budget, but they did
hold non-judged quilt exhibits for several years. In 1979, the Guild agreed to host the second NC Quilt Symposium and advertised to encourage
other quilters in the area to join their group. The organization was
rechartered as a non-profit organization, adopted by-laws and budgets,
and began judged quilt shows and grew into the Charlotte Quilters' Guild
we know today.

We salute all members of the Charlotte Quilters' Guild, past and present.
We thank everyone for the dedication of past years and look forward to
many more years of friendship and commitment to the promotion of
quilting. We pray for God's sustained blessing on this organization so
that we may continue to help the Charlotte community through education
and outreach.
