How many quilt guilds are in California?
QuiltMap lists 57 quilt guilds in California across 53 cities. Each listing includes location and contact info; meeting schedules where the guild has shared them. The count updates as new guilds list themselves or existing guilds claim their listing.
Can a guest attend a California quilt guild meeting?
Most guilds welcome guests for one or two meetings before requiring membership. Some guilds publish visitor-fee policies and meeting times on their listing; many haven't yet. The contact info is the fastest way to confirm dates, locations, and any RSVP requirements.
What's the difference between a quilt guild and a sewing circle?
Guilds are formal community organizations with regular meetings, often hundreds of members, board structure, dues, and an annual show or retreat. Sewing circles are smaller informal groups that meet in homes or shops. Both fit on QuiltMap — guilds in this directory, sewing circles often listed under their host shop.
How do I claim or update my California guild's listing?
Guild officers can claim their listing for free. Click into your guild's detail page and use the "Claim this listing" button. Claiming lets you update meeting times, location, membership info, and event calendar — and respond to questions from visiting quilters.
My guild isn't listed. How do I add it?
Use the Submit a Listing form to add a missing guild. Submissions go through a quick review and then appear in the directory. Charity-quilt groups, modern quilt guilds, and traditional quilt guilds all welcome.
