BREAKING NEWS: THE SANTA ROSA QUILT GUILD IS MOVING TO THE VETERANS MEMORIAL BUILDING, 1351 MAPLE AVE., SANTA ROSA, CA, 95404 EFFECTIVE AUGUST 15, 2019. CHECK BACK FOR MORE DETAILS AS THEY DEVELOP.
Our Guild is dedicated to preserving this country's quilting heritage through the education and enhancement of quilt-making skills.

The Santa Rosa Quilt Guild creates an opportunity quilt every year which is raffled to generate operating funds that support the guild and its community outreach. Tickets are available during guild meetings and at various functions throughout the year, such as the Sonoma County Fair and the Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County Wine Country Quilt Show.
