The Guild was formed in 1989 as Regional Guild for KwaZulu-Natal. It’s aim is to promote, develop and teach quilting skills. A quarterly newsletter is sent to approximately 250 members and consists of Regional, National and International quilting news, articles and information. All events for each year can be viewed on the website. As one of the hosting Guilds for National Festivals, the Guild held very successful Festivals in 1990, 1996, 2004 & 2015, with the next festival planned for July 2024.
Guild Meetings are held around March, May, August and November at the Hillcrest Senior Primary School, 17 Emoyeni Drive, Hillcrest. Demonstrations, guest speakers, vendors selling their wares, raffles and fundraising tables are the usual format for the meetings as well as the large display of quilts.
