The African American Quilt Guild of Oakland was created in June 2000 to preserve and continue the tradition of quilting. We promote fellowship among interested persons in all aspects of quilting. Our goal is to contribute to the knowledge and appreciation of fine quilting. We sponsor and support quilting activities through regular meetings and special events with the community. We have a multiracial/multicultural membership with members who live in several of the Bay Area counties. The
Guild is proud to have members who have won prizes in the Alameda County
Needlework Show. Member’s quilts have been displayed in various local
quilt shows and community centers as well as American Quilt Society
Exposition in Nashville, TN, International Quilt Festival, Houston, TX, Europe,
Japan and South Africa. The purpose of AAQGO is to preserve and continue the tradition of quilting; to promote fellowship among interested persons in all aspects of quilting; to contribute to the knowledge and appreciation of fine quilting and quilts; and to sponsor and support quilting activities through regular meetings and special events with the community. Membership is open to anyone interested in the purpose and objective of this Guild. No discrimination shall be made with regard to race, color, creed, sex, or national origin.
