Illinois Quilters, Inc. (IQI) was founded in 1980 for people interested in quilts and quiltmaking. Our guild promotes an appreciation of the fine design and workmanship of quilting through fun, educational events. We honor and preserve our quilting heritage and encourage quilt-based community service.

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by COVID-19 – whether you or a loved one are sick, out of work, or just feeling isolated. Illinois Quilters is working to change our scheduled events, adjusting to our new reality and finding a way to interact virtually. Please continue to check in with us as we evolve. Stay safe, and check our Events page for monthly details.

IQI meetings are at 7pm on the first Thursday evening of most months and feature presentations on a wide variety of quilting topics. Doors open at 6:30pm for library book checkout and return, workshop registration, fabric exchanges and more.

We meet ten months each year on the first Thursday of the month, from 6:30-9:15pm. Guests are welcome for a fee of $10.00 a meeting, with a limit of two meetings per year. Workshops may follow presentations by a few days. Click here for more information about workshops.

Meetings are held at Lutheran Church of the Ascension, 460 Sunset Ridge Road, Northfield, IL 60093. Workshops are at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church at 1133 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, IL.

IQI is affiliated with QuiltingHub.com, a trusted online forum designed to help quilters find resources and information, help quilting resources market themselves effectively, and help the quilting industry grow worldwide.
