Business Name

Welcome to the Yellowknife Quilters Guild Website!

Text Box: We are located 512 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle in Canada’s Northwest Territories.  As one of the most northern quilt guilds, we have a very diverse membership, with a variety of ages, economic conditions and nationalities.
The Yellowknife Quilters Guild is a very active and progressive group of quilters who range from traditional quilters all the way up to fabric artists.  The group started in 1989 when 6 ladies met in each other’s homes to quilt.  Janet Sanders was the driving force getting this started.  People started taking a sampler course given by her and the group started to grow until the present where we have a regular meeting place at the Baker Center.  From this very modest beginning we now have over a 100 members.
Our purpose is to generate appreciation and enthusiasm in the fine art of quiltmaking; to provide educational programs and current information about quilting; to hold meetings, lectures, classes and retreats for the education of our members and our community.
