These early goals are still at the center of our organizational purpose. Monthly meetings, educational programs, show-and-tell, workshops, community service project groups, and a biennial quilt show provide ways for quilters of any age or level of experience to be involved. Guild members can hone their skills and share a love of quilting through teaching, mentoring, and helping with service projects. They can grow in confidence and leadership ability as guild officers and as committee members. The nearly 150 members of Pine Belt Quilters are helping to preserve the American artistic and cultural heritage of quilting. They celebrate time-honored traditions of the past and also recognize that quilts are not limited to bed coverings. Quilts come in all sizes, from very large to tiny miniatures. They are beautiful on a bed or hanging on a wall. Whether the technique is traditional or innovative, quilts are works of art. Come celebrate the art of quilting with us! Meetings: Held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. University Baptist Church Fellowship Hall 3200 W. Arlington Loop, Hattiesburg, Mississippi |
