Carson Valley Quilt Guild Our guild is a non-profit dedicated to advancing quilting as an art form through education.

We are a large group of quilters who live and quilt in and around Nevada's Carson Valley, home to Minden, Gardnerville and Genoa. We're located 10 miles south of Carson City, our state's capital, and we're an hour south of Reno, the largest city in Northern Nevada. We are located just over the picturesque Sierra from beautiful Lake Tahoe, surrounded by three mountain ranges ... the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada (see above photo), the Pine Nut Mountains and the Sweetwaters. This "Moon over the Mountain" block is our logo, each member making their own quilted nametag. Our group first came together in 1986 as a handful of quilting enthusiasts meeting in the back of a Gardnerville fabric store. Now, more than 20 years later, we meet monthly, have parties, quilt shows, guild challenges, classes, workshops and a yearly retreat to Lake Tahoe. We are a non-profit organization and our charitable quilt donations serve many in our growing communities. Come visit us sometime, or just enjoy our Web site and let us know what's going on in your quilting neck of the world ... Happy Quilting, all!

A Gift of Warmth from the Carson Valley Quilt Guild 🙌

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Carson Valley Quilt Guild for another generous donation of beautiful handmade quilts.

For several years, the members of the Quilt Guild have donated quilts for our Deputies to carry and provide to members of our community who may need a little extra warmth—whether from the cold or simply some comfort during a difficult time.

These quilts are more than just blankets. They represent kindness, compassion, and a community taking care of one another. Our Deputies have the privilege of giving them to people during moments when a little warmth and comfort can make a meaningful difference.

We are truly grateful to the Carson Valley Quilt Guild for the time, care, and heart they put into every quilt and for their continued support of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the community we serve.

Thank you, Carson Valley Quilt Guild, for helping us bring a little warmth to those who need it most.

Thank you for all you do for our community familysupportcouncil! ❤️

“This quilt was a Block-of-the-Month sponsored by Sierra Sewing in Carson City, Nevada. They offered the completion kit and pattern for the fill-ins. I decided to hand quilt using the long stitch method using a variety of colors.

This was started in Sept. 2024 and top was completed by Sept. 2025.”

Tag Sale

“This quilt top was made in 2009 using a pattern called "Tag Sale". It was supposed to be a class, but the teacher called in sick, and we were left to our own devices. I finally finished last year and didn't remember how much I liked the colors!”

NY Beauty in Shades of Gray

“Every year my mini group, Friday St*****rs, challenge ourselves to do something new. This past year we chose a challenge with paper piecing (which I love) and curve piecing (which I don't.)
We were inspired by Linda Haun's New York Beauty class. The blocks are created with fabrics from my stash of white/gray/black fabrics and I chose to set them on point.”
