Welcome to GALA...

Welcome to all visitors...

The purpose of the GALA Quilters Guild is to further an interest in all matters pertaining to quilting.  We strive to achieve this goal through the fellowship and collaboration of all of our members by exchanging information, ideas and quilting techniques.  Guild dues are $20 per year, due each January.

We'd love to hear from you! If you have questions about our guild, events or programs, would like to visit a guild meeting, or if you are interested in becoming a guild member, just email ContactUs@GALAQuiltGuild.com.

GALA members may log in to our yahoo group page to chat anytime.
