About the NIQ Guild

The North Idaho Quilters guild has been in existence since 1995 and is comprised of quilters from various communities located in the Idaho Panhandle and eastern Washington. Our guild holds general membership meetings six times a year on the fourth Monday of the odd months—January, March, May, July, September and November. Many general membership meetings feature guest quilting artists who share their talents and skills, as well as the gorgeous quilts they have made. Often a guest speaker will conduct a quilting workshop that is open to guild members.

Members also meet on the second Saturday of even-numbered months for a fun day of sewing, visiting, and a wonderful potluck lunch. Members that attend Activity Day may, if they choose, participate in Community Service sewing projects for charity. Among the Charities that have received our quilts include Mary's House, Children's Village, Birthright, Cancer Center, Palliative Care, Family Shelters, Ambulance Services, and Fire Departments.

Our guild sponsors a quilt show every other year with our next show June of 2013. The Quilt show is a great opportunity for the community to enjoy the talents of area quilters and for local quilters to showcase their craft. Entrants do not have to be a member of NIQ to participate in the show.

We encourage both beginning and experienced quilters to join us for our activities. Our mission is to promote quilting and improve quilting skills among guild members. Annual membership dues are $20.00.
