Many ways to get involved!

Throughout the year and around Kansas City, there's something unique and fun to participate in with our friendly, helpful guild. You will enjoy working on community service projects, participating in interesting challenges, hearing inspiring speakers, learning new skills at workshops, and entering the biannual quilt show. There is something for everyone!  Find your niche by joining in a few (or a lot!) of guild activities.

Fun Challenges

Marjie Dykman creates all sorts of projects for the guild members to participate in. 2022 was the Crayola challenge where members randomly selected a crayon from a bag and were challenged to make a quilt with that color. 2023 gave us the Magazine Challenge. Members blindly selected an envelope with a magazine page and were challenged to make a quilt using whatever inspired them from the page - a color, a word, a scene, a symbol, etc. 2025’s first challenge was a small quilt in honor of QGGKC’s 50th anniversary using a common gold fabric and representing the quilter’s number of years of membership and the number 50. We can’t wait to see what Marjie surprises us with in 2025-26!

Excellent.

I’ve been a member for some 16 years. The Show and Tell part is a great learning experience. The quilt speakers are excellent and seeing the fellow quilters every month is a joy.

I love the guild!

I would go to guild if the only thing they offered was show and tell. It is amazing to see everyone’s work and creativity. Even the donation / community quilts are great.
