If you would like to join the guild, we would be happy to have your membership. We invite anyone with a passion for quilting to join us.  The AAQB is the guild for the beginner to the master quilter who is looking for a supportive community for creative growth. Over time, the AAQB has expanded its membership to welcome individuals skilled in a diverse range of fiber arts, including knitting, doll making, beading, weaving, wearable art, bag and apparel sewing, and a host of related disciplines. Our inclusive community embraces the talents and passions of all members, creating a rich tapestry of creativity and collaboration.
