The North American Quilling Guild organization was formalized at the meeting

held in Camden, SC in June,2001, attended by 76 quillers from the US and Canada.

This followed 10 years of informal meetings. The aims and objectives of the guild are:

     a. To promote the art of paper quilling.

     b. To hold meetings, classes, courses, exhibitions, and lectures which

         promote the knowledge and making of quillwork.

     c. To issue a newsletter four times a year.

     d. To develop a professional website for the North American Guild.

A meeting of the North American Guild is held each year, as well as many more informal

meetings whose schedules are shown in the guild newsletter. Those of you who can

attend the meeting will be rewarded by meeting others who share your interest in quilling

and by seeing many examples of completed projects. There will be several vendors selling

a variety of supplies.  Advanced instruction is available.

ENGLISH QUILLING GUILD

    The Quilling Guild was organized in England in 1983 and was established for the

purpose of revitalizing the old (almost ancient) art form of quilling, or paper filigree

as it is sometimes called. An active roster of almost one thousand people, both men

and women, are in the English guild. They have an annual meeting for the whole of

the United Kingdom, and regular meetings in their smaller geographical areas, similar

to our states. An International Guild Meeting was held in 1992, 1997 and in 2002.

In each case there have been 20 or so people attend from the United States and

Canada, as well as several other countries. Each English county displays quilling

made by their members.  Finished designs are displayed and awards are made for

"best" of several categories. They publish a regular newsletter. You do not have to

wait for an International Meeting to attend one of the annual meetings if you are in

England at the right time.

    There are several Quilling Guild associations in other countries whose purpose is

the same as the English Guild. These groups also provide a method of getting to

know other quillers in your proximity.
