The
Quilt Guild of Metro Detroit was established in 1980
to promote cooperation and interchange of ideas
among those who are engaged or interested in
quilting; to stimulate an interest in quilting; to
promote and advance the art of quilt making; and to
present educational programs and services in the
design and techniques for quiltmaking.
