History
In 1985 ten women taking a Heritage Class in quilting at Bulloch Hall in Roswell, Georgia decided to form the Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild. The Guild held meetings at Bulloch Hall until 2000 when it changed the meeting location to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. The membership is limited to 65 members. The Guild holds monthly meetings September through June. Many nationally recognized quilt teachers continue to present trunk shows and workshops. The membership demographics include Greater Atlanta and other neighboring counties.
Members of the Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild strongly believe in reaching out to the community and helping those in need. Since we are quilt makers, sewing and donating quilts to nonprofit organizations constitute one arm of our community efforts. In the past we provided quilts to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Coulter’s Comforts and Quilts of Valor. More recently we have contributed quilts and pillowcases to The Drake House in Roswell, quilts to the Wounded Warrior Project and Little Dresses for Africa as service commitments.
Additionally, Bulloch Hall, an 1839 historic home in Roswell, Georgia, continues since 1982 to host an annual quilt show. After the retirement of Bulloch Hall’s show manager in 2000, the Quilt Guild took over management of the ten-day show of about 200 quilts. This is a major service commitment to the community. The 37th Annual Bulloch Hall Quilt Show will be held March 8-17, 2019, and is returning to its traditional format. For the 36th annual show in 2018 we presented a special exhibit of quilted art representing 59 designated National Parks in the United States.
