Lake Quilters Guild at Smith Mountain Lake, Inc. was established in January of 1990 to serve the communities surrounding Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing good fellowship and the interchange of ideas to those interested in the art and craft of quilting. It is also our goal to interact with the community and to create an understanding of all aspects of quilting through education, sharing, enjoying and appreciation each other's work. As a special service to the community, we make items for donation to charitable organizations.

The Guild meets at 1 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month, except in the months of June and December. Meetings are held at Trinity Ecumenical Parish located on Rte. 122. Visitors are welcome. For more details (meetings, membership, officers) see About the Guild

From Neva Hart, VCQ/VQM: Virginia quilters are searching for quilts made in Virginia before the year 2000. On June 1 volunteers for the Virginia Consortium of Quilters will hold a Documentation & Discovery Day at the Blue Ridge Institute at Ferrum College to record information about Virginia's quilts and their makers. Photos of each quilt and background about who made it will be archived in a database kept at the Virginia Quilt Museum and the Institute. Read more...
