Black Hills Quilters Guild
The Black Hills Quilters Guild is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of quilting traditions. Established in 1977, the guild operates in Rapid City, South Dakota, and has a growing membership base, including some original charter members.
Purpose and Activities
The guild aims to foster a wider appreciation for quilting through various activities. These include:
- Monthly Meetings: Members gather regularly to share knowledge, display their work, and engage in quilting discussions.
- Weekly Gatherings: The guild hosts weekly meetings, providing a platform for members to work on projects and participate in special interest groups.
- Civic Projects: The guild is involved in community-oriented projects that benefit local residents, reflecting its commitment to public service.
Community Impact
One notable project undertaken by the guild is the Project Warmth initiative, which began in 1985. This effort focuses on providing quilts to families in need, such as those affected by natural disasters or fires. During 1988, the guild distributed twenty-eight quilts, highlighting their dedication to community support.
Events and Exhibitions
The Black Hills Quilters Guild is also responsible for organizing significant quilting events in the region. A notable example is the Black Hills Quilt Show, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in recent years. This exhibition showcases quilts from local artisans and serves as a major event to promote quilting within the community.
Membership and Structure
Membership in the guild is available for a nominal annual fee, allowing interested quilters to join and participate in the guild's activities. The organization is structured to support both novice and experienced quilters, providing a supportive environment for learning and collaboration.

Pearl has created another masterpiece! She designs the blocks, picks the fabrics (and many times designs the fabric line as well), writes the patterns, pieces the blocks and quilts the final product. (fb)
Our snowbirds enjoyed their own Round Robin over the winter. This is the 2nd year the group has done a Round Robin. They each made their own center block, some sent fabrics to use in the remaining borders. When each border was finished the quilt was mailed to the next person. On Tuesday they got their first glimpse of their quilt tops. Each quilt traveled with a journal so thecquilters could explain their border and color choices What a fun project! (fb)
