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.

Join Us
We invite you to attend a meeting as our guest.  Please email programs@nimblefingers.org to RSVP.

Summer Challenge

Veri Peri (aka Pantone Color of the Year) Summer challenge
 
​“Veri Peri” is a blue violet color. The challenge is to make one 18” square quilt where Veri Peri is in at least 50% of the quilt top.  Other blues and purples can be added, with a bit of black and/or white.  Small amounts of other colors can be included, but your quilt should “read” periwinkle. Any style or design can be used and there is one entry per person.  It is due at the September 7 meeting, where we will vote on our favorites.  You will need to bring your quilt to the September meeting to participate. The quilt with the most votes will receive a $20 gift card from Capital Quilts, who has invited us to display our periwinkle quilts in their Gallery in October.


​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
