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.

Jean Wells Workshop, “Intuitive Color and Design”
Thursday, March 21, 2024, 9am-4pm, $40, Dayton First Baptist Church.
Explore quilt design in a more intuitive way and enhance your focus on color relationships and value. Create gentle curves and design lines by tossing away your ruler and practice the use of color. You will have the option to work on one design and create a small wall hanging, design a repetitive block, or create a large quilt using the repeated block format. Jean will demonstrate several color exercises and cutting techniques during this workshop to reinforce your intuitive and creative side.
