Siloam Springs AR
We are quilters in and around Benton County Arkansas, meeting in Siloam Springs monthly for food, fun, education, support, and community projects. Come see us!
The Dogwood Quilters Guild was first formed in 1991 by a group of quilters who wanted to learn, share patterns, ideas and appreciate the company of fellow enthusiasts. Some of the original members are still in the guild, while others visit from time to time to check in with us. We are not the only guild in northwest Arknasas but the only one that meets in Siloam Springs. We have grown to over 60 members and encourage any age of fabric enthusiast to visit one of our events or meetings. Annually we put on our "Airing of the Quilts" during the Dogwood Festival downtown Siloam Springs in April, we have classes, Quilt Raffles and Retreat Get Aways.
Our purpose is to preserve, promote, educate, and enjoy the art of fabrics and quilting.
We meet on the first Saturday most every month at 617 N. Mt. Olive Street, Siloam Springs AR at Grace Episcopal Church in the community room. The room opens at 9am and the Guild Meeting begins at 10am, we usually sew afterwards and have pot luck lunches. Smaller groups get together for stitching time, check out our FACEBOOK page to see when and where we meet. Please join us and plan to attend any one of our events or educational activities.
DQG works as a group making quilts to share with the community. Pet quilts are given to the Siloam Springs Animal Shelter yearly for lining pet cages and kennels for animals in need of a home. We truly hope it makes their transition cuddlier! We create hundreds of baby quilts for our local infant nursery at Siloam Springs Regional Hospital. Every baby is precious and our goal is that every baby receives a quilt! Although 700+ babies are born every year we barely make a dent. We also support our veterans by donating Honor quilts to the VA to give thanks to those who served our country so faithfully.
