About Us
London Quilters is a group of quilt and textile art enthusiasts who meet once a month at The Hub in Swiss Cottage. The group was founded over thirty years ago and currently has over 90 members, ranging from keen beginners to professionals, with work encompassing traditional and modern quilts as well as art wall hangings and three dimensional pieces.
Meetings
Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month except August, when there is no meeting.
At most meetings there is an invited speaker who is expert in a quilt or textile related field. Once a year one of our own members gives a talk. There are two sewing evenings each year, in February and July, when members share ideas and techniques, have bring and buy sales and, occasionally, hold mini workshops. At each meeting there is a short "Show and Tell" session when current work is shared.
The hall is open from 7pm to enable members to gather over tea, coffee and cake! The extensive lending library of books, DVDs and videos is also open at that time. Meetings start at 7.45 pm with members' show and tell of work before the speaker's talk at around 8pm.
Membership is £28 per annum, payable in September. The fee is reduced to £15 if joining after March and membership is free to those aged under 18, over 90 and students. Visitors are welcome to attend meetings without joining the group, or as a taster before doing so, at a fee of £5 for each visit. If you are interested in joining please use the contact form in the More tab. Due to space constraints at the venue, it may be necessary to operate a waiting list for new members. The Hub is in Fairhazel Gardens, London NW6 3SG and a map of the location is under the Contact tab

Workshops are organised during the year, often on a Tuesday following a talk by a guest speaker, at a fee of £45 for members and, space permitting, £50 for non-members.
Library
We have an extensive lending library and you can find the catalogue under the Library tab above. It is organised by author and by subject matter, catering to most needs of a textile group.
