The North American Quilling Guild organization was

formalized at the meeting held in Camden, SC in

June,2001, attended by 76 quillers from the US and

Canada.

This followed 10 years of informal meetings.

The aims and objectives of the guild are:

a. To promote the art of paper quilling

.
b. To hold meetings, classes, courses, exhibitions,

and lectures which promote the knowledge and making of

quillwork.

c. To issue a newsletter four times a year.

d. To develop a professional website for the North

American Guild.

A meeting of the North American Guild is held each

year, as well as many more informal meetings whose

schedules are shown in the guild newsletter. 

Those of you who can attend the meeting will be

rewarded by meeting others who share your

interest in quilling and by seeing many examples of

completed projects. There will be several vendors selling a

variety of supplies. Advanced instruction is available.

ENGLISH QUILLING GUILD

    The Quilling Guild was organized in England in 1983 and was

established for the purpose of revitalizing the old (almost ancient) art

form of quilling, or paper filigree as it is sometimes called. An active

roster of almost one thousand people, both men and women, are in the

English guild. They have an annual meeting for the whole of the United

Kingdom, and regular meetings in their smaller geographical areas,

similar to our states. An International Guild Meeting was held in 1992,

1997 and in 2002. In each case there have been 20 or so people attend

from the United States and Canada, as well as several other countries.

Each English county displays quilling made by their members.  Finished

designs are displayed and awards are made for "best" of several

categories. They publish a regular newsletter. You do not have to wait

for an International Meeting to attend one of the annual meetings if

you are in England at the right time.

    There are several Quilling Guild associations in other countries

whose purpose is the same as the English Guild. These groups also

provide a method of getting to know other quillers in your proximity.
