Welcome to BVQ! Brandywine Valley Quilters was established in 1987 to pursue our members’ interest in quilting techniques and history, and to further our knowledge and gain experience in all aspects of the art of quilting.
We are a non-profit organization.
The purpose of our organization is:
- To bring together persons interested in quilts and quiltmaking while promoting fellowship among chapter members
- To support and encourage the art of quiltmaking both today and historically
- To encourage members to improve their own workmanship through the sharing of each other’s knowledge, skill, and experience
- To establish and promote educational and philanthropic endeavors through quilts
Our programs feature lectures by nationally-known or local quilt makers and teachers. We are involved in numerous Community Service projects, offer scholarships, and also make and raffle a quilt at our biennial quilt show to raise funds for educational and charitable purposes. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month at the Bethlehem United Methodist Church, 4 Westtown Road, Thornton, PA, 19373 (see map below) starting at 7:00 PM. Fabric Raffles, Block Exchange, Block of the Month, 50/50 and Not-So-Blind Raffles are some of the activities we may enjoy. A break for refreshments and socializing follows, with “show and tell” and the evening’s program presentation beginning at 8:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. so come early to check in at our Welcome table and get settled in!
