Welcome to the Marathon Quilters Guild Website!

Whether you are a quilter or would like to learn more about quilting, please consider joining us this year at one of our monthly meetings. Marathon Quilters Guild, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose primary purposes are to educate, inspire, and participate in community quilting projects for charities. We represent all styles and methods of quilting and are always learning something new with outside and in-house experts in a variety of fiber arts. 

The Marathon Quilters Guild meetings begin in September each year and run through June. Meetings are every 2nd Tuesday of the month, from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. We meet at the Faith Community Church ( 146 E. Main Street, Hopkinton). Check our calendar for speakers and activities at these meetings and for specific dates.

We begin at 6:30 p.m. with a social gathering and our meetings promptly start at 7:00 p.m., usually with a speaker or teacher. Afterwards, we take care of guild business, and probably the most fun, show and tell time, where members share their beautiful quilts and new techniques with each other. Meetings generally end by 9:00 p.m. Guests are always welcome and invited to try two meetings before deciding to join, and make it their own.

The guild is funded by dues, our biennial quilt show, and donations. The Marathon Quilters Guild is a charitable and educational 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Annual guild membership dues are still only $25. Guild benefits include:

  • Free lectures with great speakers

  • Inexpensive workshops by local and national instructors

  • Quilt Challenges and fun projects

  • Monthly Show-and-Tell by Members

  • Participation in Outreach Activities

  • Monthly Newsletter

  • Opportunity to show work in biennial quilt show

  • View and print a Membership Form. We welcome new members!

Pandemic Lemonade
Marathon Quilters asked guild members and 2021 quilt show attendees to
write a brief note on white fabric about how they spent their time during Covid quarantine.
The responses were varied and heart-warming.
Some learned new skills, read books, adopted a furry companion, or
baked, Zoomed, or traveled to new places via the internet, and a
number strengthened family bonds, reconnected with old friends or fell in love.
Read the 178 statements here.
