We are so excited to be your Seattle area Base Camp! We are looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing all the fun activities we have planned for throughout the year.

Ok, but what is Quilt Scouts?

No more stitching solo! Every quilter needs a troop to lean on when their bobbin runs out mid-stitch or they need a second opinion on color combos. Quilt Scouts connects you with a troop of quilters who are always ready to share a laugh, swap project ideas, and even commiserate over a rebellious thread knot or bigger “oops” moments (hello, backwards blocks!). It’s the ultimate quilting support system and the perfect place to grow your skills while having fun. Using the Circle community you will be able to interact with scouts across the country and overseas about our shared love of quilting.

And a Base Camp?

A Quilt Scouts Base Camp is a place where quilters can gather in person, sew together, earn badges, and build community—all with the spirit of adventure and creativity that Quilt Scouts is known for. We will tailor our program to reflect what our members want all while making new friends and learning.

Our meetings aren’t just about earning badges, although they are fun, they’re about acknowledging the new skills you learned as you continuously hone your craft. They’re about showing off what you’ve made and are still making with likeminded individuals who can instantly understand and recognize all the thought and work that you’ve put into your projects. It’s a place where you can get advice when you’re struggling or just support that you will be able to figure it out. And sometimes they’re about laughing at the silly mistakes you made, knowing that at some point we all have probably done the same. (Or will do in the future.) It’s not about fixating on perfection (you decide what level of perfection you want, although we may try and talk you down at times) or making something because you feel obligated to. We create because we enjoy the process – if all we wanted was a blanket then we would just buy one. And there’s definitely no Quilt Police here!

You do need to be a member in good standing in order to attend in person events. This means you are up to date on your dues using a monthly or yearly subscription plan. (You can sign up by clicking on the link below.)

Quilt Scout membership dues are in addition to meeting/class fees. Meeting fees go towards enhancing the in person experience which may include guest speakers or supplies.
