PieceMakers Quilt Guild
PieceMakers Quilt Guild
Encouraging the fellowship of anyone interested in the art and craft of quilt making
Guild Programs
Our meetings begin at 6:30 with a social time to chat and catch up with our guild friends. The business portion of the meeting begins at 7:00. Included in the business portion of the meeting are brief reports from the board and community service project chairs. Each month, we have a 50/50 raffle and the proceeds are donated to a different charity after each meeting. We meet at the Vietnam Veterans of America building at 8000 Derry Street, Harrisburg, PA.
Each meeting features an interesting and informative program. Nationally recognized quilt teachers and artists offer lectures and trunk shows highlighting the many and diverse styles of quilting. Workshops are offered several times a year. We also showcase the talents of our many gifted members with demo nights. Following our speaker is the ever popular Show & Tell to end the evening on a remarkably high note. All guest program speakers are free to members; guests are charged a $5.00 fee which can then be applied to membership if you choose to join the guild that evening.
The guild also holds an annual auction as the primary fund raiser for the guild programs, a picnic, and an end of the year winter festival.

Is It Live or Is It Memorex
with Evelyn Louise Hunt
​​Evelyn is a former 25 Year member of PieceMakers Quilt Guild. She is an ardent collector of quilts, fabrics, patterns, books, and all other quilt related items. In 1998 she took her first quilt class - Eleanor Burns' Log Cabin quilt. It was the only quilt she completed from start to finish and used. Thus, she quickly realized she was a topper. Since that time, she has taken and enjoyed numerous classes from national and local instructors.
Evelyn is or has been a member of nine quilt guilds and held the positions of program chair, treasurer, retreat, vendor, fund raising, and ad coordinator. She has lectured in six local guilds and her quilts have been exhibited at local quilt shows and at the Harrisburg Mansion in Reservoirs Park.
Outside the guilds, Evelyn started a Friday UFOs when Quilters Cottage closed. In addition to working on UFOs the members of the group shared their knowledge vis a vis demonstrations or
classes. She also visited quilt shows in Pennsylvania and Maryland.​
