Membership

Joining the Guild

Anyone over the age of 16 with an interest in the art of quilting is welcome to become a member of the Chelmsford Quilters' Guild. All levels of quilters are welcome—beginning, intermediate, and advanced, as well as those who have never made a quilt, but collect or admire them. (Juniors, ages 6 - 16, may join the guild if they are sponsored by an adult member.)

Joining the guild is easy—come to a meeting, fill out a Membership Form (which you can print and fill out in advance), and pay your dues.

Dues are $20 per year (September to August), $10 for juniors ages 6-16.

We would love to have you join us!
