Welcome to A Celebration of Quilts X

York Heritage Quilters Guild celebrates its biennial display of members' quilting. The York Heritage Quilters Guild held its 10th major exhibition, A Celebration of Quilts X, in November 2008. The show was well attended as we all celebrated our craft, our love of fabric and embellishments, and the exquisite talent of our members. York Heritage Quilters Guild strives to foster the growth of our needle art. Through workshops and lectures at our monthly meetings, we continually challenge ourselves and colleagues to achieve new goals.
