Our meetings may include locally or nationally known speakers, wonderful trunk shows, demos of new and interesting techniques or tools, workshops for donations, plus socials twice a year just for fun!

Bethesda Quilters warmly welcomes visitors and new members.

In our most recent quilt show in October 2019, our members displayed over one hundred of their latest exciting quilts. We had a quilting and craft supply sale in 2022 when the world began to open up after the COVID pandemic shut down.

This year, our group project is to create and donate as many baby quilts as we can!

We hope to have a quilt show next year in 2024 to share our art and fun with the community.

Our group is small—but mighty! Join us to get in on all the quilting fun!

Our Latest Baby Quilt Workshop
