Capital Quilters Welcomes You!
Thank you for visiting Capital Quilter's website. Capital Quilters sponsors two events each year, Capital Quiltfest, the first week-end in November and National Quilting Day, the third Saturday in March. These two events provide educational opportunities for our guild members and others from the surrounding area, and a display of quilts and quilted art projects completed by the membership and other area quilters. Capital Quilters raffles a quilt each year made by guild members, The drawing for the quilt is held on the last day of Quiltfest. Twenty seven women organized Capital Quilters in 1981. When you read our history, you will discover that we are passionate about quilting. We pride ourselves in being diverse, not only in the types of quilting we each enjoy -- hand quilting, machine quilting or long arm quilting but also in techniques, skills and ability level from beginner to advanced. Our membership is nearly 90. Come visit us for a meeting and you'll leave having learned some skill or technique and perhaps met a new friend or two.
Our Mission is to promote the art of quilt makingSince organizing in 1981, the Capital Quilters have participated in numerous quilt shows, displays and demonstrations. These include such annual events as the Bismarck Folk Fest, Art in Motion at Bismarck's Kirkwood Mall, and the Capital Arts Fair sponsored by the Bismarck Arts and Gallery Association (BAGA) on the state capitol grounds. The group has also featured quilts in several exhibits at BAGA and the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library, and sponsored many quilt shows as well.
