Our History
​
Ocean Waves Quilt Guild is celebrated it's 25th birthday in April, 2022
On April 7, 1997, Ocean Waves Quilt Guild came to be. Ocean Waves quilt Guild began as a conversation among three members of a guild that met in the evening, which was at a distance from their homes. It was a long drive and difficult to always attend with family responsibilities. They felt there was interest in starting a daytime quilt guild. A group of 18 friends, looking to have fun and expand their quilting knowledge and learn new skills - closer to home and meeting in the morning.
The logo of the Ocean Waves Quilt Guild is a blue and white Monkey Wrench or Snail's Trail quilt block. It was chosen by the charter members because it resembled a rolling wave.
