About Us

The Milk and Honey Quilters Guild is a non-profit organization based in Middlebury, Vermont.

Milk and Honey Quilters began more than thirty years ago as a small, informal and supportive group for quilters and anyone interesting in quilting.  Over the years, we have now grown to seventy members.

Our monthly guild meetings consist of a business meeting, Show and Tell, Q&A which often results in sharing tips and tricks with each other, and often a locally or nationally recognized guest speaker and/or trunk show. We dedicate at least one of our meetings to community service sewing projects. Occasionally we host workshops taught by recognized fiber artists.  For a schedule of this year's program and activities, click on the Meetings link in the banner, above. 

Every other year we hold a non-juried, non-judged quilt show where quilters from around the state (and beyond) have an opportunity to share their work with the community.

We’ve recently begun monthly breakfast gatherings and monthly “sit ‘n sews” where we socialize, work on our projects and help each other with various techniques and suggestions. This year we hosted our very first field trip and went to the New England Quilt Museum and the Bott Cotton Mills Museum. Other social activities include a Christmas potluck with a Yankee Swap, and a spring social that has, in the past, included a potluck dinner and a very fun trash-and-treasures swap. Each quilting year, we have several different quilting challenges such as a block swap, round robin and “brown bag”. These challenges are both fun and an opportunity to learn new quilting techniques. We teach each other.

Our membership fee is $20/year. Anyone can come as a guest to any of our meetings for a $5.00 entrance fee. For a membership form, click here.

We have bi-annual quilt shows.  See details on the "Our Show" tab.
