I love our tagline, Fiber Artists of the Nation's Capital. It still stirs my spirit /soul to think we are so lucky, so fortunate, to live here in the Washington DC metro area. I loved Washington DC when I arrived here in 1965 (from Chicago, IL via Gary, Indiana) -- AND -- I still love living here in the Washington DC metro area. Now, I'm among my new quilter friends !! -- Nancy Sharp
The Nimble Fingers Quilters, Inc. is an active group of dedicated quilters who come together monthly to promote the study, practice and sharing of quilting arts. Nimble Fingers Quilters, Inc. was established in 1974 and has close to 100 members. The interests of our members encompass traditional and modern quilt styles, art quilts, and various needle arts. Our skills range from enthusiastic beginner to experienced master.
Community outreach is a high priority for us, and our guild has a very active "Quilting for Others" group which provides quilts and pillowcases for charitable groups in Montgomery County, Maryland. We are also a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Our meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month from September through June at 10 am. Currently we are meeting via Zoom and hope to resume in person meetings soon. Our meetings begin with guild business, followed by an inspiring, informative lecture and a show & tell of members' work. We also offer workshops, a 3-day retreat, mini groups, and plenty of opportunity to socialize.
