The Flying Geese Quilt Guild meets the second Monday of the month in Irvine, CA. Guests are Welcome.
The Flying Geese Quilter's Guild was founded in 1985 by a group of about 30 quilters. In the past 22 years the guild has grown to approximately 300 members. The guild was organized to promote and educate its members and the public in the techniques and methods of creative quilting and fiber arts, to preserve the heritage of quilt making, and to promote quilt related activities. Regular meetings usually feature nationally known speakers. Members can also attend some speaker's workshops for a small fee. Other benefits of membership include opportunities to join a friendship groups, check books out from the Guild’s extensive library, and participate in quilt related philanthropic and community education projects. Other activities include a biennial quilt show, biennial quilt auction, and quilt retreats. |

Guild Lecture – Kim Diehl:
A Simple Trunk Show
“This informal and light-hearted presentation features quilts from her "Simple" series of books and includes a handful of quilts from American Patchwork & Quilting magazine as well. Hear stories of her successes (and mistakes) as she was learning to quilt, including how she made the leap from self-taught novice quilter to published designer with just her fourth quilt. Presentation time averages 45 minutes to one hour, depending upon audience interaction and questions.”

Our general membership meetings, on the
second Monday evening of each month, offer programs from an extraordinarily
talented membership and other locally recognized fiber artists, as well as
nationally and internationally recognized guest speakers. Our speakers are
quilters, quilt designers, clothing designers, doll makers, and textile
designers – in other words, experts who impact our love of quilting. Without
fail each month our guild members present a spectacular Show and Tell and a
hint of the quilt show we present every other year. Before the meeting and during break there is time to browse our extensive
lending library, socialize, and enter opportunity drawings for small wall hangings
and door prizes. Between meetings we offer a variety of activities, such as
workshops, philanthropy sewing days, and small friendship group meetings.
Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 6:30 pm
The Meetings are held at:
Rancho San Joaquin Middle School
4861 Michelson Dr.
Irvine, CA 92621
