NHQG was established to document and preserve the rich heritage of African American quilting.  Since its founding in 1995, the Guild has provided quilters in our community with a forum for sharing ideas, encouraged and revitalized their knowledge of the craft. The Guild restored a sense of African American history and culture through its distinctive quilting traditions.  Over the years, the Guild has provided quilters of different generations with a forum in which learning from the past is connected to the task of building for the future. Above all, the Guild is committed to preserving the tradition of African American quilting by passing it from generation to generation.

Exhibit sponsored by the Modern Quilt Guild.
