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.

Special Request:

​A friend is looking for someone who can sew a dress for her without a pattern from scratch.  She has purchased the fabric and the zipper already, thinking I would do it for her. 
Unfortunately, I’m not able to sew without a pattern, nor do I have the time.
If you could do that or if you know someone who could do that for her, please let me know.
Thanking everyone in advance.

Rotary Art Centre Showcase:

Great work by Karen Blumel, Maureen Clayton, Faye Polhammer and Gwen who collected the artwork and quilts from the members of the Guild at the beginning of February!
The display cases at the Rotary Art Centre have been filled and beautifully display the work of many members of our Guild! 
​Hope all our members will be able to visit the displays ! New works will be displayed in April and May! Thanks to Karen for the photos!
