North Carolina Quilters Guild  
The North Carolina Quilters Guild was formed in 1991, and is dedicated to promoting, preserving, and perpetuating the art of quilting in North Carolina. NCQ membership is open to any individual with an interest in quilting and a willingness to learn and share with others. Meetings are currently held twice a year (March and September) at the Caraway Conference Center near Asheboro. Workshops are conducted on a wide range of topics, and the NCQ newsletter is published four times a year. The website is www.NorthCarolinaQuilters.org.
 
The mission of the QOV Foundation is to cover ALL war wounded and injured servicemembers and veterans from the War on Terror whether physical or psychological wounds, with Wartime quilts called Quilts of Valor (QOVS).   This foundation is not about politics. It's about people.  The website is www.qovf.org.

Teacher Websites
 
There are wonderful websites for the teachers that we have had, are planning to have, or are considering.  I would recommend you check these out, to see what they offer.  Often, they will describe the classes or workshops they offer, so you might suggest to the program chairs which classes would interest you.
