The Village Quilters, located in Loudon, Tennessee, was established in the fall of 1996 by Carole Spahn with a charter membership of approximately 10 members. We've grown tremendously from those early days in numbers as well as skills. At present, our membership is nearing 270 so we have a wealth of knowledge to share.

The purpose of this Guild is to preserve and continue the traditions, culture and history of quilting. We strive to promote fellowship among all members in all aspects of quilting and increase members' awareness and appreciation of fine quilts. The Village Quilters sponsor, support and encourage many quilting activities. We hope to contribute to the growth of knowledge of quilting techniques, textiles, patterns and quilt makers through educational programs, classes, workshops, meetings and travel. 

Check out all program, workshop and class offerings by clicking on each section as well as keeping up to date by using the calendar. All subject, time, place, teacher and cost information is listed within those sections. Workshops are usually held on the third and/or fourth Thursday of the month. The Guild's workshops and classes are for Guild members only. Workshops are taught by our talented Guild members and additional classes are taught by our professional speakers or members.

In addition to all of our learning opportunities, we hold a Quilt Show every two years in even numbered years and a Quilt Challenge in the odd numbered years. We have block exchanges 3 times each year, 6 ½” Club, Community Service “Sweatshop” days and small group “Bees”.
