Our first raffle quilt.
The Newtown Quilters' Guild (NQG) began in June 1989 when a group of ten friends gathered together for an evening of sewing and socializing. This was the beginning of a monthly "stitch 'n sew" that would be held in various homes in Bucks County. At first, there wasn't an organized activity and many crafts were shared. As word spread and more joined this group, quilting was the one craft that interested everyone. By November of that year, the group numbered 33 and quickly outgrew family rooms. Since then, the NQG devised its name, logo and weathered various moves as the membership grew to more than 100 with members coming from Bucks County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia and New Jersey.

Newtown Quilters' Guild is welcoming new members. If you are interested in meeting quilters who share your passion for quilt making, we invite you to attend one of our meetings*.

We welcome quilters of all experience levels to join. Even if you are not a quilter and would like to become one, please feel free to come to join us.
In addition to our monthly meetings, a raffle quilt is created yearly to help raise funds to support the guild. The ticket is drawn for this quilt at our December dinner meeting. every other year, the Guild hosts their annual quilt show. Our most recent show was in 2022. We have a show planned for November 9-10, 2024 at Newtown Middle School.
The NQG meets at 7:00 pm on the third Tuesday of every month at the Lower Makefield Township Community Center, 1550 Oxford Valley Road, Yardley, PA 19067. Our meetings start at 7:00 p.m. You may arrive as early as 6:30 p.m. There is a $5.00 guest fee, unless otherwise noted. Our meetings usually consist of a speaker or a demonstration. The June meeting is our birthday month and it has become our tradition to celebrate with strawberry shortcake. The October meeting is our annual dinner. There are usually no speakers at either of these two meetings.
When we are meeting in person, guests are welcome to all meetings. There is a $5.00 fee for guests unless otherwise noted (this information can be found under Events on the website).
