Welcome!

Campden Quilters is a not-for-profit organisation formed in 2014; we are a small group of keen sewers based in and around the Chipping Campden area, our main objectives are to improve and share our quilting skills in a warm and friendly atmosphere with like-minded people

We meet at Chipping Campden Bowling Club on the first and third Thursdays of each month between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm. When there is a 5th Thursday in the month we have an all day workshop and invite a well-known professional in the quilting world to give a presentation

Membership

Membership is £35 per annum and all day workshops usually cost £20/25. Our membership is limited to 30 and comprises a broad range of experience from absolute beginners to prize-winning quilters. We are now able to offer places to new members so if you are interested in joining please contact us using the form on the Contacts Page.

Venue

We chose Chipping Campden Bowling Club as our venue because it offers outstanding facilities and excellent car parking. The main room where we sew is spacious with plenty of light and room to spread out. There is also a very modern kitchen which we use as and when needed

Charities

Our aim is to complete a charity project each year. Over the past few years we have been helping charities by donating quilts made jointly by the group. We also raised funds for The Alzheimer's Society and Campden Home Nursing.
