Welcome
The Squanicook Colonial Quilt Guild is a non-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of quilt making through education, preservation, and fellowship. Whether you collect quilts, love them, make them or just want to learn more about them, we invite you to join our guild.
We currently have approximately 120 members. It’s a fairly large guild, but we try to keep the small guild feel by providing lots of opportunities for members to be involved in such things as open sews and workshops. Our members come from all over north-central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. We are a friendly group and would love to have new members join us.
Open Sews
Open Sews are held on the third Tuesday of each month, from 10-3 PM. They are held at the Pepperell Community Center, located at 4 Hollis Street in Pepperell, MA.
Upcoming open sew dates:
- April 15
- May 20

Quilt Cupboard
Our next workshop is April 25 at the Groton Senior Center.
The cupboard coordinates the creation, collection and distribution of quilts for comfort to individuals, families and organizations that serve the community. Quilts are distributed on a regular basis to the Lowell General Cancer Center, the Emerson Hospital Cancer Center, Project Linus and the Wish Project. Comfort quilts are also distributed to those experiencing challenging times due to fire, tragedy, loss, illness or a social emergency.
Workshops are held monthly at The Center in West Groton, where kits are assembled for piecing, machine quilting or tying. These kits are then distributed to members for completion. Kits for pillow cases are also assembled. The cupboard accepts donations of quilt tops and newly constructed quilts from guild members and members of the community.
