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
