FAITHFUL
CIRCLE is the name of the traditional quilt pattern shown in our
logo. It represents the fellowship to be found in quilting and
in guild participation.
Faithful
Circle Quilters began in 1971 in the home of Peggy Hood in
Columbia, Maryland. Peggy found quilters by placing an ad in the local newspaper, and about 15 showed up for the first meeting!
Today our
membership is over 200 women and men with skill levels that
range from beginner to professional. Our first quilt show was
held in 1972 in the First Presbyterian Church at Routes 108 and
29 in Columbia, Maryland, where we have met since the beginning.
