Welcome
Willamette Valley Quilters (WVQ) was launched in September 2021. Our guild is located in Dayton, in the heart of Willamette Valley, easily accessible to quilters throughout Yamhill County and surrounding areas.
We were inspired to create WVQ as a space to support all quilting possibilities– modern, traditional, art, improv and handwork. Through educational programs, community service and social opportunities, WVQ provides a safe, nurturing, inclusive environment that encourages fellowship among its members, surrounding guilds and the community.
Please join us at our WVQ meetings on the 3rd Wednesdays at 10 am, with social time starting at 9:30. We will meet at the comfortable and spacious Dayton First Baptist Church, 300 Flower Lane.
October Program – Judy & Angelia Peterson
October 15, 2025
Award winning landscape art quilters:
Judy Peterson & Angelia Peterson
A unique, award-winning mother/daughter fiber art duo! Judy (mom) and Angelia (daughter) Peterson will share their “Ways to Embellish a Landscape Art Piece.” This duo, self-proclaimed technique junkies, combines photography and fiber to create stunning works of art which they will share with us during their trunk show.
Judy and Angelia will also be teaching a workshop Thursday, October 16th, “Landscape to Embellishment Perfection.” You will be able to choose from three different designs in order to create your own piece of art. In their workshop, you will learn the basics of collage, free-motion quilting and adding the final touch – embellishments!
