The Orchard Valley Quilters Guild meets every Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to noon from September through May at the Okanagan Mission Hall (corner of Lakeshore and DeHart) in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Click here for map.
Our meetings provide members with friendship, support, inspiration and encouragement. We welcome quilters and fabric artists of all levels of expertise. Our members practice traditional, modern, hand, machine, and art quilting. Meetings are a great place to learn, socialize and exchange ideas.
Orchard Valley Quilters Guild (OVQG), founded in 1982, offers a place and time for the exchange of creative ideas, the fostering of friendships and the camaraderie found in the practice of diverse quilting techniques.
Guild members strive to improve their skills and share them with one another and the next generation of quilters, and to give back to their community by providing quilts that offer comfort to those in need.
The OVQG supports traditional quilting, art quilts, fiber art and quilts made with hand embroidery and applique.
