About Us Gold Bug Quilters was started in July of 1987 with 12 members. The name was chosen to represent our Gold Rush heritage. The purpose of our guild is to contribute to the growth and knowledge of quilting through education and fellowship. Gold Bug Quilters also use their talents for community service projects. Our members make cuddle quilts that are donated to Child Protective Services and Family Connections, and we encourage our members to make at least one cuddle quilt each year. We also give annual scholarships. Program meetings are held the 4th Tuesday of the month at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, 6831 Mother Load Drive, Placerville, California. The doors open at 6:30pm and the meeting starts at 7:00pm. The meeting is open to members and visitors. The program consists of a brief information time, a special program, refreshments, “show and tell”, and drawings for “pot of gold”, door prizes, birthdays, fabric basket, and “block of the month”. In even-numbered years, we produce a wonderful quilt show displaying the quilts of our guild. If you would like more information about our guild or its activities, you may email our current President, Mary Osborn, at mary@goldbugquilters.org or call her at 530-409-3581.
