Maple Leaf Quilters

The Maple Leaf Quilters, MLQ, is a guild of approximately 80-100 members who share the love of all things quilted, pieced, appliqued or embellished. 

We are based in Rutland, Vermont with members from Rutland, Addison, and Windham Counties.

In 1981, if you were a quilter, you might have belonged to the 'Round Rutland' Quilters group.  In 1982 the name was changed to the Maple Leaf Quilters, and the same spirit of encouraging the art of quilting remained.

Several of the original 'Round Rutland' Quilters still belong to MLQ today.

Our first quilt show, known as the "Festival of Quilts" was held in April, 1982 at the Rutland Free Library.  The shows changed from every year to every other year and our 28th show was held April  2016 at the Holiday Inn in Rutland, VT followed by a show in 2018 at Castleton College.  Covid had us cancel in 2020 but in 2023 we were able to have another show.  Our next show is in 2025.
