Clamshell Quilt Guild was organized in 1989 to bring together people interested in:

• Preserving the art of quilting
• Learning new methods of quilting
• Sharing expertise among the members
• Meeting and making friends with other quilters

Our members come from eastern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island. Doors open at 5:30 PM and there is a social hour until the meeting begins at 6:30. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at the Waterford Community Center, 24 Rope Ferry Road, Waterford, CT.
