All About Acacia

We have members in the business, education, and political fields. We have members who are retired but very active in the community. Like your favorite scrappy quilt, we're an interesting and eclectic bunch! Since we are a small-ish group, it is easy to get to know everyone on a personal level. If you're looking for friendly folks who love quilting, Acacia is the group for you!

Acacia Quilt Guild is a 501(c3) organization that is open to anyone interested in quilting. Our goals are to:

• Promote cooperation and exchange ideas among persons interested in or engaged in quilting.
• Further the education and skill levels of the members of this Guild.
• Preserve the heritage of quilt making and educate the public as to the significance and history of quilting as an art form as well as an ongoing craft.

We work toward those goals by providing education about quilting, increasing the skills of quilters, and utilizing these skills to help those in need through our philanthropy projects. These projects include making quilts, pillowcases, totes, and more. We also collect needed items (such as toiletries, school supplies, and toys) for other groups helping those in need.

We welcome quilters of all levels. Even if you've just started sewing and are thinking "What does this button do?" ... you'll find a welcoming sewing community with Acacia.

Like most non-profit groups, Acacia has a number of elected positions and a bunch of standing committees. If you're interested in getting involved in a particular role, just reach out and let us know.
