History
Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild was founded in 1985 by ten women taking a Heritage Class in quilting at Bulloch Hall in Roswell, Georgia. Since its inception the Guild has become a conduit of encouragement and creativity through monthly meetings and workshops led by local as well as national and international teachers. In 2000 the Guild outgrew its meeting space at Bulloch Hall and began meeting at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Johns Creek, Georgia. The membership is limited to 65 members.
Quilt Guild members participate in outreach to local, national and international needs through donations of quilts to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Quilts of Valor (national), Drake House, and more. The 2018-2019 Community Service project was Habitat for Humanity. Guild members have been known to jump into action when additional special needs are made known.
Bulloch Hall has been the site of an annual quilt show since 1982. After the retirement of Bulloch Hall’s staff show manager in 2000, the Quilt Guild took over management of the ten-day show. Usually, 200 or more quilts, old and new, antique and contemporary, are on view at each show, making colorful displays throughout the historic house.
The 38th Annual Bulloch Hall Quilt Show will be held March 6-14, 2020 to present a special exhibit of quilted art entitled “Inspired by Endangered Species”.
