Welcome to the NeedleChasers Web Site!

Home

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.  

We welcome new and experienced quilters from Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, and hope you’ll consider joining us! E-Mail us if you would like more information.
