Welcome to Uhuru Quilters Guild

Do you enjoy quilting and other fiber arts? Do you enjoy sharing ideas about fabrics and quilting with other quilters? If you do, then we're the quilt guild for you. Uhuru Quilters Guild is a community of kindred souls who enjoy each other's fiber art. We are a home for creative spirits – a circle of friends who treasure each other as a precious gift and provide support and encouragement in whatever life brings. The members of Uhuru Quilters Guild would like to extend to you an invitation to visit, enjoy a variety of quilting techniques, socialize, and join our guild; see the Membership page for more information.

Uhuru seeks to promote the work and accomplishments of African American quilters and to preserve the tradition, culture, and history of quilting. Our motto is "Each One Teach One." The guild welcomes all those who are interested in quilts and quilting and we have numerous speakers, workshops and exhibits, as well as exciting activities and events planned for the coming year.

Our meetings are held on the third Saturday of each month from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Cedar Heights Community Center, unless otherwise noted. Each meeting includes show and tell, door prizes, workshops, and lively discussions of issues relevant to the quilt world in general, and Uhuru in particular. All are welcome, as we have members of all quilting levels. Come, share, learn, enjoy!
