Company founded
1981
The Garden State Quilters guild was founded in 1981, as "a new club for quilters and quilt lovers." The original 35 members met on September 14, 1981, at the Library of the Chathams in Chatham, New Jersey. By the time the first directory was published, the guild had grown to 54 members. Today, the guild consists of approximately 250 members and it draws nationally-recognized and award-winning quilters and quilt artists to speak at guild meetings and conduct workshops. Read more about the founding of the guild in this letter from Judy Dales, one of the founding members.
