History

A Brief Early History of the Guild

The Crazy Quilters Quilt Guild held its first meeting in September 1990. The original

organizers of the group were of ladies who had been part of a class given at the

Lehigh County Community College in the spring of 1990. The class was taught by

Linda Post-Bushkofsky.

The original organizers of the guild found that they enjoyed the class and getting together

to learn new quilting methods and techniques, so they decided to form a guild. They

continued to have meetings during the summer of 1990 to formulate plans for the formation

of a new guild. Linda volunteered to become the first president and made the necessary arrangements to have the monthly meetings at the St. John's Lutheran Church in Whitehall.

The first meeting of the new guild was held in September 1990. We did not know what to

expect. We were surprised and excited to find that many people shared our interest in

quilting and decided to join us at the first meeting. Since that time our membership

has grown to 57.

During our first year we have had many interesting meetings, some Saturday workshops,

completed a guild challenge quilt, and taken a bus trip to the New York Quilt Show.

As we embark on our second year, we are working on a raffle quilt, planning a quilt show,

happily anticipating a March 1992 group shopping expedition to Lancaster, and looking

forward to classes and workshops that will increase our skill and knowledge of quilting.
