Montpellier Quilters
We are a friendly group of sewing enthusiasts based in Cheltenham in the beautiful Cotswolds. We meet to share our enjoyment of anything and everything to do with needles and thread.
We have 40 members who have a wide range of interests within textile arts and crafts; everything from patchwork and quilting to embroidery, dyeing and felting all served up with a large dose of fun and laughter, an occasional dash of adventure and a wonderful sense of community.
Our book cover quilt is an example of one of our joint projects and was exhibited at the 2022 Cheltenham Literature Festival:
Some of our members are complete beginners and others have a wealth of knowledge and experience, who are more than eager to tell us about their work, show examples or give demonstrations. MQ members love to share their expertise; it's great to learn from each other.
We hold Patchwork Picnics - informal sewing days where we get together for the day to chat and eat cake and to sew our own projects, as well as joint projects like the Jubilee tablecloth (pictured).
