Welcome to the new site for the
Kenya Quilt Guild

The Kenya Quilt Guild is a vibrant cosmopolitan group of around 130 women - and one man - who all love the art of quilting .The largest group is based in and around Nairobi where meetings are held monthly and an active weekly Workshop gives members the chance to meet and work on group projects. Smaller groups meet regularly at members' homes and offer each advice and support on their individual projects.

We also have an active group at the coast who meet regularly in Mombasa and a scattering of members up-country in more remote areas.

The idea of forming a Quilt Guild in Nairobi was the brainchild of Canadian Anne Mains and American Dena Crain in the mid 1990s The Guild was registered as the Kenya Quilt Guild in 1999 with around 30 members and has since grown to about 130 members, mostly in Nairobi but with a large active group at the coast based in Mombasa and a scattering of members upcountry. Since its inception the KQG has held regular Quilt Exhibitions in Nairobi and will be holding its first International Exhibition in Canada in October 2008.
