Education
The Quilters Guild of Plano is proud to have within its membership, talented quilters who volunteer to serve the educational needs of organizations within the Plano community. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, the purpose of the Guild is to:
- Preserve the heritage of quilting
- Promote the knowledge and understanding of quilting
- Provide opportunities for continuing education among those interested in the art of quilting
If your organization would like to schedule a quilting event, simply contact the Education Chair of the Guild by email or you can mail a request to the Guild’s P.O. Box. See our Contact Us page for email addresses and mailing address.
Because the Guild is an all volunteer organization, your requests must be received a minimum of 60 days prior to your planned event date.
