QuiltPittsburgh.org

This is a web site for and by quilters in the southwestern Pennsylvania region. Our goal is to inform the community about the quiltmakers in the Greater Pittsburgh area and to provide information to quilters about events, guilds, and shops here. We post information submitted to us by groups within about 150 miles from Pittsburgh.


The Pittsburgh Friendship Quilt

Pittsburgh Friendship Quilt

The Pittsburgh Friendship Quilt was displayed in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, in August 2008 after a 20-year "sleep" in the depths of Buhl Science Center and Planetarium on Pittsburgh's North Side (thanks to the Quilt Company East guild). In January 2009 it was again displayed -- this time at the Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh -- and yet again in May 2009 at the Internationational Quilt Market, a trade show, also in Pittsburgh.

What's a QuiltPittsburgh.org Gathering? An informal meeting of people who are interested in quilting. We gather from all over the Pittsburgh area to (choose one or several of the following) meet-and-greet-and-eat, sit-and-stitch, show-and-tell, have a trunk show or short demonstration. In the past we have met in a library, in a church social hall, in a back yard. Our goal is getting to get to know other area quilters. Recent gatherings have been organized by individuals, small groups, and by a quilt guild. If you or a group of friends would like to organize a QuiltPittsburgh.org gathering, please write to us at info@QuiltPittsburgh.org.
