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 except November, December, and June) are on the informal side and are always filled with food and fun! We alternate between morning and evening meetings.

The Fall of 2023, we moved all our meetings to a new location:

St Pius X Church, 101 Wolcott Rd, Milton, MA 02186.

The PBQ annual calendar includes a little of everything – monthly raffles, outside speakers and workshops, Show and Tell, potluck dinners and even overnight quilt camps in Maine and New Hampshire. There is aso a Day Camp for sewing and sharing ideas once a month at St Pius Church in Milton, MA. 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. PBQ holds quilt shows every other year in odd years. Last show was in the fall of 2019. Because of the pandemic, there hasn’t been a big show for a while. Our next show will be Spring 2025. Mini focused quilt shows occur at the Boston Public Library in West Roxbury, MA, once or twice a year.

Although the PBQ guild was founded by a small group of friends and continues to be on the small side (approximately 65 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. Members have made 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.

We meet at St Pius X Church, 101 Wolcott Rd, Milton, MAon the 2nd and 4th WEDNESDAYS of the month from September through June. Half our meetings are in the morning, with the other half in the evening. Check the Calendar Tab in the bar at the top of this page for exact time for each meeting.
