The Fraser Valley Quilters’ Guild is a non-profit Society. The purpose of the Guild is to bring the joy of quilting to the public by way of shows, displays, and demonstrations, and to bring ideas and learning experiences to the members by way of workshops, guest speakers, and demonstrations.
Guests are always welcome with a free drop-in for the first meeting. There will be a fee of $10.00 for non-members for special guest speakers to help cover costs.
Joan Anderson, Rita Steeple, Jean Fong and Laura Gates all had a part in the final quilt gifted to Trinity Lutheran Church. Well done ladies!
Hello fellow quilters
We ask all our members to participate in a “what are you working on now”

Tuesday November 10, 2020 Zoom Presentation with Rita Solkin
Collecting and Caring for your vintage quilts.
Did someone leave you a quilt or did one call to you from a vendor’s table at a local summer market? What now? How do you keep it, should you wash it, how do you repair that little tear in some of the fabrics? And of course, how much is it worth?
Come and learn some of the answers while viewing 50 plus quilts, tops and blocks ranging from 1800 to the present. Please bring your cherished vintage and antique quilts for show and tell to help everyone get in the spirit of those wonderful, mostly anonymous, mostly women, who turned a household item into something beautiful
Please see the picture below which represents all of the blocks that were done by our members for the outgoing President.
This has been a tradition for many years and is done in secret by the members and presented to the outgoing President in appreciation of her contribution to the Fraser Valley Quilters Guild during her time in office
Congratulations a job well done, Irene
October 13th Nicholas Turcan
Nicholas Turcan is a multi-talented and very creative individual. His journey into quilting began in 2012 with one quilt. Well, one quilt quickly turned into several which led him
to a job at The Cloth Shop on Granville Island, where his passion for fabrics, quilting and designing patterns only grew. He is now a talented long-arm quilter, who helps his
clients enhance their quilts with his creativity. In addition to long-arm quilting, he has also started to teach free-motion
Quilt as inspired
In this lecture I will summarize my quilting journey and discuss (and show) my favourite quilts! I will share some of the teachable moments that took me from a novice quilter to the artist I am today. For the second half of the talk I really want to discuss how to choose designs and how to create secondary designs from just the quilting. The quilts shown during this portion are samples that I made specifically for this lecture and show you just how creative and versatile this style can be!
The April, May and June winners were:
Joan Hebden, Georgina Myles and Betty Walker
