Join Our Guild

Guild Meetings and Classes

Our guild meets on the third Thursday of the month at First Presbyterian Church, 175 Lake Hollingsworth Drive, Lakeland, FL. with our social time from 6-6:30 with our meeting starting at 6:30. At our meetings, we enjoy listening to guest speakers talk about their style of quilting, sewing, and embellishing! Previous speakers include Cindy Oravecz, Kestrel Michaud, Edyta Sitar, Susan Cleveland, Nancy Desler, and so many more. Our guild also holds a biennial quilt show complete with gift basket raffles, a Boutique, and ribbons! We also have classes with national teachers as well as second Saturday classes held at the Fabric Warehouse and bus trips to quilt shops and the AQS shows.

Our Story

Ladies of the Lakes Quilt guild is a non-profit organization and was originally started in May of 1995. The ladies who started the guild wanted a place where they could come to be with friends and to have a great time while doing something they loved. Now we have grown to over 100 members with special interest groups like our Featherweight Circle and Handwork Circle, both which meet monthly in addition to our monthly guild meeting.

A Heart for the Community

The ladies in our guild have a heart for the community. We love to give back and have created quilts at an average of over 275 quilts a year that we distribute to many local institutions such as Florida Baptist Children’s Home, Project Linus, nursing homes, women’s shelters, the VA hospital, the police and fire departments, and many more. We also are involved with making wish pillows for Give Kids the World, pillow cases for Ryan’s Case for Smiles, and memory bears for Vitas. At our quilt show, we sponsor a cookie sale with all of the proceeds going to a local charity.
