The
Illini
Country Stitchers, a
Champaign-Urbana area quilt guild, was formed in September 1985. The
purpose of the Illini
Country Stitchers is to
contribute to the knowledge of and to promote the appreciation of fine
quilts; to encourage quilt making, quilt collecting and an on-going
fellowship among people with a serious interest in the art of quilting;
to sponsor and support quilting activities; to contribute to the growth
and knowledge of quilting techniques, textiles, patterns, history and
quilt makers through education.
