The Proper Bostonian Quilters Guild is a diverse and vibrant group of women dedicated to the art and appreciation of all things "quilt". Our twice-monthly meetings (most 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at the Msgr. Donahue Hall, St. Theresa School in West Roxbury) are on the informal side and are always filled with food and fun!

The PBQ annual calendar includes a little of everything - monthly raffles, outside speakers and workshops, potluck dinners and even overnight quilt camps in Maine and New Hampshire. We try to fit in one bus day-trip every other year to acquaint ourselves with every possible quilt shop near and far. We issue a Summer Challenge to keep us busy during the vacation months.

Although the PBQ guild was founded by a small group of friends and continues to be on the small side (approximately 100 members), we have big hearts and a strong community spirit. PBQ'ers traditionally make a large bed quilt every two years and raffle it to raise money for local food pantries. An annual donation is also made to the New England Quilt Museum. Throughout the year members make teddy bears, pillowcases and quilts that are donated to various local organizations assisting men, women and children in need. Recent projects have benefited ConKerr Cancer, Linus Quilts, Casa Nueva Vida, the St. Matthew's Food Pantry in Dorchester, and U.S. military servicemen and women.
