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.
Guests and new members are always welcome.
POP-UP DONATION DAY JULY 22, 2020
OVQG Pop-up Donation Day
Thank you to everyone that attended the Pop-up Donation Day on July 22nd.
101 fabulous quilts were collected at the day and kindly dropped off ahead of the event. We should now have enough quilts to supply the NICU till the end of September. I have also received quilts that will allow us to supply the West Kelowna Nurse Family Partnership and Kids Count for all of the coming year. They receive the quilts larger or smaller than what the NICU needs.

OVQG Pop-up Donation Day - Wednesday, May 6
May 6: What a great success at our Donation Pop-up Day!
Our members braved cold and rain to deliver NICU Quilts. Barb Segal our donation chair received 115 quilts.
Quilts from The Pincushion Guild were received as well!
Members were able to replenish their stash safely at the various stations for batting, backing and 1/2 yard cuts.
Thanks to Jim and Linda at Linda’s Quilt Shoppe for her cooperation and the lending of her classroom space for this event. Our members were able to use the space to warm up and sew the labels.
