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 With a mission to...
  • Bring together persons interested in quilts and quiltmaking while promoting fellowship among members
  • Support and encourage the art of quiltmaking both today and historically

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. Block of the Month,  the Yearly Quilt Challenge, 50/50 and Not-So-Blind Raffles are just some of the activities we enjoy at meetings!
