Welcome to the Rouge Valley Quilters' Guild website. We are located in
Pickering, Ontario, Canada, and have members from across the eastern Greater Toronto Area, including Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa as well as points north. Rouge Valley Quilters' Guild promotes
fellowship among quilters and encourages quilters to share their knowledge
about the craft and art of quilting. The guild hosts workshops for our
members and we engage knowledgeable guest speakers to educate our
membership. The guild is a non-profit organization. All skill levels are
welcomed, especially beginners!!

Fall is in the Air!
Fall is in the Air
It’s that time of year when we start thinking about making changes in the garden and gearing up for a new year at the Guild. Membership forms have been prepared for you to complete and submit at our September meeting if you have not already done so. We are looking forward to an exciting year of speakers, seeing recent projects you have completed, making new friends and renewing old ones.
This will be an exciting year because our Quilt Show is happening in May 2020. Lots to do, many hands will make light work.
Meeting Reminders!
Hello Ladies of the Guild,
Just a reminder
- Bring your indoor shoes
- Return your library books
- 50/50 money to support Quilts of Valour
- Quilts from the Heart - bring a finished one in and pick up one to complete
- Bring your show and tell for display
- Membership money to sign up for next year
- Bring your charity heart, volunteerism, and sense of humour
