Meetings & Location
The Proper Bostonian Quilters Guild is a diverse and vibrant group of women dedicated to the art and appreciation of all things “quilt”. Our twice-monthly meetings (most 2nd and 4th Wednesdays except November, December, and June) are on the informal side and are always filled with food and fun! We alternate between 10 AM morning and 7PM evening meetings. Have a look at the guild Calendar.
We meet at St Pius X Church, 101 Wolcott Rd, Milton, MA. There is plenty of off-street parking. Check out the map below and click on the red marker to go to Google Maps for directions.
Membership
The PBQ guild was founded by a small group of friends and has approximately 65 members. We have big hearts and a strong community spirit. PBQ’ers traditionally make a large bed quilt every two years and raffle it to raise money for local food pantries. An annual donation is also made to the New England Quilt Museum. Members have made teddy bears, pillowcases and quilts that are donated to various local organizations assisting men, women and children in need. Recent projects have benefited ConKerr Cancer, Linus Quilts, Casa Nueva Vida, the St. Matthew’s Food Pantry in Dorchester, and U.S. military servicemen and women.
The PBQ annual calendar includes a little of everything – monthly raffles, outside speakers and workshops, Show and Tell, potluck dinners and even overnight quilt camps in Maine and New Hampshire. There is aso a Day Camp for sewing and sharing ideas once a month at St Pius Church in Milton, MA. We try to fit in one bus day-trip every other year to acquaint ourselves with every possible quilt shop near and far. We issue a Summer Challenge to keep us busy during the vacation months. PBQ holds quilt shows every other year in odd years. Last show was in the fall of 2019. Because of the pandemic, there hasn’t been a big show for a while. Our next show will be Spring 2025. Mini focused quilt shows occur at the Boston Public Library in West Roxbury, MA, once or twice a year.
New members are always welcome! Our dues are $35 per year and visitors are welcome with a $5 donation at speaker meetings. Come visit us and join our guild!
