The Lake Quilters Guild 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

Our 2008 Quilt Show, "The Art of Quilting" was held April 4-5, 2008. Over 200 quilts and wearables were displayed. Please visit the Quilt Show page to view a slide show of the event and the Viewers' Choice Awards. The Grand Door Prize was the Jamestown 400th Anniversary Quilt made by our 2007 Quilt-in-a-Year instructors. View the quilt. Working hard behind the scenes was the Quilt Show Committee.

Several guild members wanted the directions for the "quilt as you go" charity quilt. So here they are, courtesy of Marcia Wright... Click here for instructions (PDF).

Our 2007 Challenge quilts were displayed at the December Luncheon and we voted on our favorites. The Challenge winners and a slide show of all the entries can be view by going to the Challenge 2007 page.
