River Valley Quilters
Guild is located in the river valley between the St. Croix and Mississippi
Rivers in Minnesota. It was founded in 1994 and has 50 to 60 members
who come from all levels of quilting expertise. We offer many opportunities
to share with each other and the community through education, creativity
and encouragement. We welcome any new or experienced quilters to
come and visit with us at one of our meetings.
The membership dues are
$25.00 per year. If you are interested in becoming a member of our
guild, click here.
To help us learn one another's names, we recommend that members
wear name badges at RVQ meetings. There is a pattern included with
the membership packet.

Every other year
we host a quilt show at the Washington County Fair Grounds.
Our next show is October 8 and 9, 2010. As a member of River
Valley Quilters you may show one or more of your quilts for
Viewer's Choice Ribbons, participate in a fun challenge contest
and be asked to volunteer some of your time.
