Welcome to the Nubian Heritage Quilters Guild website.
The Nubian Heritage Quilters (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.
We celebrate the legacy of African American quilting by sharing our quilting experiences, educating others through quilt demonstrations and workshops. We continue the legacy by transforming and expanding traditional quilting ideas by incorporating ethnic patterns and fabrics into our works. We have a wide variety of talents in African-American, traditional and modern quilting techniques and we like to share these skills through numerous activities, including monthly meetings, workshops, challenges, charity projects, and a biennial quilt show.
Through our website, we invite you to experience the commitment and enthusiasm of our members for the preservation of the African American quilt making tradition.
