Welcome to the
Marathon Quilters Guild Website!
Whether you are a quilter or would like to learn more about quilting, please consider joining us this year at one of our monthly meetings. Marathon Quilters Guild, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose primary purposes are to educate, inspire, and participate in community quilting projects for charities. We represent all styles and methods of quilting and are always learning something new with outside and in-house experts in a variety of fiber arts.
The Marathon
Quilters Guild meetings
begin in September each year and run
through June. Meetings are every
2nd
Tuesday of the month, from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. We meet at
the Faith Community Church (
146 E. Main Street,
Hopkinton). Check our calendar
for speakers and activities at these meetings and for specific dates.
We begin at 6:30 p.m. with a social gathering and our meetings promptly start at 7:00 p.m., usually with a speaker or teacher. Afterwards, we take care of guild business, and probably the most fun, show and tell time, where members share their beautiful quilts and new techniques with each other. Meetings generally end by 9:00 p.m. Guests are always welcome and invited to try two meetings before deciding to join, and make it their own.
The guild is funded
by dues, our biennial quilt show, and donations. The Marathon Quilters Guild is a charitable and educational 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Annual guild
membership dues are still only $25. Guild benefits include:

Pandemic Lemonade
Marathon Quilters asked guild members and 2021 quilt show attendees to
write a brief note on white fabric about how they spent their time during Covid quarantine.
The responses were varied and heart-warming.
Some learned new skills, read books, adopted a furry companion, or
baked, Zoomed, or traveled to new places via the internet, and a
number strengthened family bonds, reconnected with old friends or fell in love.
Read the 178 statements here.
