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.
November Program – Karla Alexander
November 20, 2024
We are excited to “welcome back” Karla Alexander, quilt designer and author, as our presenter for our November 20th meeting. She will be teaching a class the following Saturday, November 23rd. Members may choose one of four different straight seam patterns, or choose to do improvisational piecing. The cost of the class is $50. The class will be held at the Dayton First Baptist Church, 9-4. Bring a lunch, sewing machine and supplies. If you have not taken a class from Karla, this is a great opportunity for you to do so. She is a great piecing instructor, teaching many basic skills and lots of tips and tricks.
