Welcome

The UpCountry Quilters Guild of Pickens County, South Carolina is a small and very active group of quilters dedicated to the love of quilting through fun and friendship. We share in the enjoyment of quilting and fabric art.

Whether you’re new to quilting or are a seasoned quilter, we encourage you to join us at one of our meetings to share the experience of quilting with a fun and exciting group of fellow quilters. 

Come join us to see what all the fun is about!

Fostering The Art of Quilting

We believe that the best way to expand growth and knowledge of quilting is through education and fellowship.

Community Service

Our goal is to teach and further the art of quilting and to use our collective quilting skills to help the community. To that end, we contribute our time and skills by donating community quilts to various organizations in our area who are selected on an annual basis.

Monthly Guild Meetings

We hold monthly meetings to share techniques, designs, and projects. Our meetings are open to members and visitors. A variety of well-known speakers teach and inspire our members. We also encourage members to “Show N Tell” about their most recent projects.

Locations where you can see some of our quilts

On the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail, you can find a number of barn quilts that were created based on quilts made by members of our guild.
