Our Guild is dedicated to preserving this country's quilting heritage through the education and enhancement of quilt-making skills. Our members have a love of quilting and all things quilt-related and welcome those who have similar interests. Since 1976 we have grown from a small group of founding members to 200 and growing!
Each year an opportunity quilt is made by the guild and raffled to generate operating funds. Tickets are available at various functions during the year. To learn more about our current Opportunity Quilt, click here. To learn more about us, what we offer, and how you can become a member, visit our About Us page.
Several quilt-related businesses are members of the Santa Rosa Quilt Guild and many offer discounts. To see a list, click here.
