What is a guild?
A guild is an association of craftspeople in a particular trade. The earliest guilds are
believed to have been formed in India circa 3800 BC, and though they are not as
commonplace as they were a few centuries ago, many guilds continue to flourish
around the world today. Quilt guilds are abundant and exist in all American states and
in many foreign countries.

History of the Guild
The COASTAL PRAIRIE QUILT GUILD
(CPQG) was founded in 2008 by a group of
women who already enjoyed the wonderful
comradeship of their quilting bee. Feeling
the need for a centrally located guild, they
decided to meet near the junction of two
major freeways allowing access to quilters
from all areas of town. Needless to say they
were pleasantly surprised when interest in
membership was abundant. With much
excitement as well as hard work, the first
scheduled meeting of CPQG was held on
August 21, 2008. 107 Members joined!!!
