Welcome to the NeedleChasers Web Site!

The
NeedleChasers of Chevy Chase are quilters who meet regularly to share
the traditions and techniques of quilting, to inspire and learn from one
other, and to contribute to the community. Founded in 1978, the guild has over 90 members who range from beginning
quilters to accomplished artists, and from those who treasure traditional designs to those who push the
boundaries of fabric and design with bold, contemporary work. NeedleChasers sponsors a full range of activities that includes programs
with outside speakers, quilting bees, service projects, and a biennial
quilt show.
The program year is from September through June,
and most activities
take
place during the day on Wednesdays. |
