The Suncoast Quilting Circle was established in 1981. We are a not for profit organization with over 120 members. Except for the holiday season, we meet every Wednesday morning and in the evening on the 3rd Monday of the month.
The purpose of forming this group is to preserve the art of quilt making, stimulate and encourage interest through educating members and the community.

Our group is diverse, energetic and community oriented. Members' ages range from 12 years old to young married, to those with careers, to retired from all parts of the country. We are all eager to learn new techniques and ideas. Our group is friendly and knowledgeable. Visitors are always welcome at our meetings.
At our meetings we have had workshops, lectures, demonstrations, and sales day. We encourage Show & Tell, which inspires us to keep quilting. Our projects have included seasonal blocks, friendship blocks, annual Christmas quilt, block of the month and every other year a quilt show, which includes a raffle quilt, made by our members. Our next Quilt Show will be in 2010. We have an informative newsletter to keep our members up to date. We've added a yearly quilting retreat and our Summer Enrichment Workshop Day has grown to included our winter members in a Winter Enrichment Workshop Day.

We take bus trips to quilt shows. Our members travel a lot and bring back ideas and 6" squares of fabric to share with each member. There are many talented members of the group who have won prizes and appeared in publications.
Our guild holds memberships in National Quilting Association, Inc., www.nqaquilts.org  and www.ssqa.org  Sunshine State Quilters Association, a Florida state based guild which lists our upcoming quilt shows and charity quilts.
