Schoolhouse Quilters Guild of Cumberland, Maryland

Schoolhouse Quilters Guild of Cumberland, Maryland The Schoolhouse Quilters Guild is a non-profit organization dedicated to the art of quiltmaking. The Guild was founded in November 1977.

The Guild was founded in November 1977 with just 27 charter members. The first meeting took place at an old schoolhouse on Breakneck Hollow Farm in Flintstone, Maryland, a community nestled in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. Schoolhouse Quilters Guild founder, Jane Patterson, attended school at the one-room schoolhouse which she and her husband later bought to use as her studio. For nearly

50 years, the Guild has met monthly to share experiences in quiltmaking, collecting and technique. For more than 25 years, the Guild sponsored the largest quilt show in the tri-state area, attracting quilters from Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Today, the Schoolhouse Quilters Guild, Inc. includes approximately 50 members of two organizations: the Schoolhouse Quilters Guild and Creative Needles. Our quilts are regularly donated to various community groups to support their mission.
