Nanaimo Quilters’ Guild recently celebrated our 40th anniversary with an afternoon tea and display of small wall quilts. A number of founding members were able to attend and it was a lively afternoon of connecting and reconnecting with friends old and new. We are now busy beginning preparations for our next quilt show in May of 2026. We hold a well attended quilt show every three years at our local curling club, where more than 300 quilts are on display. The show also hosts a busy merchant mall, guild boutique and light refreshment area.
