Great Web page
How do you join this group? I am brand new to the area and a beginner. Looking to connect with a group like this one!
We meet at the Blue Ridge Library on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30. We are a small group of quilters of all levels who enjoy learning new skills and sharing our knowledge and skills with others. The annual dues are $20, and we welcome visitors and new members.
Good Morning. I’m a local and a beginner quilter and would like to join the group. So I just show up at the library on the 2nd Tuesday? Or are you allowing new members? Lkdill@verizon.net

Hi, I am emailing my reply to your above email address. Thanks for contacting us.
I am a quilter who is new to the community of Salem Va. I am looking to get involved in a guild to inspire me to get my quilters brain going again. I am an amateur quilter, and would love to learn more. Are you all taking new members? My email is sammigyrl68@gmail.com
Thank you,
Samantha Helms
I have many lovely quilt books and magazines in good condition that I would like to donate to your guild. If someone could contact me and make arrangements to pick them up, I would be so grateful.
I am forwarding your note to Kathy Wickham who would like to oversee a Ways & Means table at our meetings. Her email is roycekathy82@gmail.com. I see you were at one time affiliated with our group; is your email still lmkort@cox.net?
My email is now lmkort@icloud.com. I look forward to hearing from Kathy!
Is there an application form to be completed for potential new members?
Hi, sorry to be so late getting back to you. There is no application form, just an informational sheet to fill out once you decide to become a member. If you would like to join us in a Zoom meeting on October 12th, email me your email address and I will get your included on the Zoom invitation list that usually goes out the Sunday before, or the 10th. Thanks, Loretta lortwi1957@live.com
I recently purchased an antique coverlet made in Botetourt possibly before 1850 and possibly by a member of the Abraham Beckner family. I am looking to further the research done by the prior owner to hopefully narrow down the date further and maybe even identify the (likely) maker. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
I sent an email to all of our members asking them to contact you directly if they can be of any assistance. Also stressed it is another reason to put a label on our quilts – 170 years from now that could be one of our quilts !
Searching g for new quilt for a new grandson due in March. Might you sell baby/crib quilts or recommend a resource. Thanks & Happy Holidays.
Mr. Willard – I have passed your request on to the Blue Ridge Quilters Board and someone will respond to you. Congratulations on your expected new grandson !!
I would like to donate some material for quilts for foster children. Saw your group on the news really love that you’re making quilts for them. Also have a quilt top would like to ask you about.
How lovely! Loni
