Welcome to the Smoky Mountain Quilters Website!

Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, we get together the second Monday of every month except May to share a love of quilts. Our primary goals are to promote and encourage the knowledge of quilt making as an art and a craft, to study its history as an integral part of our past, and to promote friendship through shared activities. The guild activities consist of a yearly quilt show, workshops, block drawings, exhibits and quilts made for Ronald McDonald House. Our members are like the quilts we love:

  • - beginning efforts and masterpieces
  • - traditional and art quilts
  • - minatures and bedsized
  • - hand or machine stitched

Visit awhile and get to know us. Photos throughout the site capture the spirit of our guild. Enjoy!

Quilt Show

Each year in May. Members are strongly encouraged to enter their quilted items which are proudly displayed with entries from all over the country. SMQ members also volunteer their time to help with all aspects of the quilt show.

 

Ronald McDonald

Smoky Mountain Quilters has adopted the Ronald McDonald House for our volunteer project. There are many ways members contribute to this worthy cause: Working at a Sit and Sew at Mammaw's Thimble on the last Sunday of the month from 1:00 to 4:00, attending special work days advertised by the guild, providing special needs such as 2" strips or 5" squares needed at the Sit and Sews, taking a kit from the RMDH table at a quilt meeting to finish, and donating cool kids 100% cotton fabric to the project.
