A exhibition featuring twenty-five years of quilting by the Irving Quilt Guild will be on display at Irving Archives and Museum (IAM). The exhibit is curated by IAM in partnership with the Irving Quilt Guild. The wide variety of quilts to be on display were created by members of the guild and feature a myriad of quilting techniques, fabrics, and designs. Accompanying the quilts is a display of old and new quilting tools.
The Irving Quilt Guild was established in September 1998 by four local quilting friends. The four had no idea if anyone would attend the first meeting. To their delight over 50 people showed up. Those who signed up at the first two meetings were made charter members. As a reflection of the group’s immediate appeal, the Irving Quilt Guild has 71 charter members.
The Mission of the Irving Quilt Guild is to - Promote fellowship among persons interested in all aspects of quilt-making. Preserve our quilt-making heritage and traditions. Participate in quilt-related projects that are of service to our community.
The guild contributes money, time, and talent to local organizations such as the Scottish Rite Hospital’s Angel Quilt Program and the Quilts of Valor Program for U. S military personnel.
This exhibition will be on view September 17, 2023 – January 7, 2024.
