River City Piecemakers Quilt Guild
River City Piecemakers Quilt Guild is based in the Arlington community of Jacksonville, FL. Founded in 1987, our membership is dedicated to preserving the tradition of quilting. We support projects that promote the continuation of quilt arts, educate and entertain our members with programs and workshops, and contribute to our community through philanthropic activities. Over the years, we have donated quilts and/or funds from our donation quilts to many organizations such as: The Foster Closet, The I. M. Sulzbacher Center, Dreams Come True, Catholic Charities, Adult Care Center, stocking stuffer toys and items for the Jacksonville Boys Home in Arlington, and monthly food donations to the Arlington Food Bank. We are proud to be one of the Seven Sister Guilds that make up QuiltFest Inc. of Jacksonville Florida.
