Guild History

The Oakland County Quilt Guild began in the fall of 1989 with 75 charter members. The founding President, Janet Johnson, was assisted by Joyce Crabtree, Marcia Hamilton, and Cathy McIntee in establishing early policies and procedures for the Guild.

The Oakland County Quilt Guild has a wonderful reputation in the area for its service, charity and education to the community, its willingness to share, its spirit, and the many friendships it has fostered. The members of Oakland County Quilt Guild, past and present, continue to promote the art of quilt making at local, state, and national levels.

Quilting for Charities

Each year our guild members make quilts, from crib to full size, for donations to local charities. Recent recipients include:

  • Tiny Miracles
  • Gilda’s House
  • Lighthouse
  • Crittenton Hospital
  • Veterans
  • Crossroads
  • the Food Pantry
  • Neighborhood House

Members gather on one or two Saturdays per year to work on these quilts together. This is a fun day and a great way to meet members of the guild. Individual members and sit-and-stitch groups also donate charity quilts. Charity quilts are an important way of giving to the community. Additional items, such as personal products, canned goods, and children’s clothing, are periodically given to area charitable organizations for distribution.
