Guild History
| Our Origin Story The Region of York Quilters Guild was established in November 1985 by a small group of women who recognized the need for a quilting association within York Region. The first meeting was held in the Aurora Public Library with 25 people in attendance. Since 1985, our Guild has grown and continues to grow. |
40th Anniversary 2025 The Guild celebrated all year remembering events of our 40 years as a Guild. Celebrations culminated in a members tea on September 28th, 2025. During this year our membership was 140 people. |
