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.
September Program
September 18, 2024
Vicki Conley, “Inspired by the Parks”
Willamette Valley Quilters are excited to welcome Vicki Conley from New Mexico to our September meeting. Her program will be “Inspired by the Parks.” Vicki will share her inspiring journey through the national parks and how she combined photo inspiration and imagination to make graphic style art quilts. She will share funny stories, give a little history about the parks, and touch a little on the various techniques used, turned edge machine piecing, fussy piecing and silk screening.
Our Mission
Willamette Valley Quilters formed to:
- promote the art of quilting
- provide education through programs, classes and activities
