About Us
The Holly Berry Quilters' Guild was founded in 1985 by Suzanne McMillan, along with several of her quilting friends. They decided that they would like to meet, quilt together and enjoy each other's company. Suzanne secured permission to meet in the conference room of the Barnstable County Fairgrounds (now Cape Cod Fairgrounds).. An announcement was placed in the local newspaper that a meeting would be held and that all interested quilters would be welcome. Approximately 18 quilters attended. For the first six months, the quilters met ever two weeks, working on their own projects and helping each other with problems. Because the group was growing quickly it was apparent that some order needed to be established. After much discussion the group decided to become a non-profit organization. Suzanne was elected the first president in 1986 and Holly Berry Guild was born. This dynamic group continues to meet twice a month, and in addition to sharing a knowledge and love of quilts, they support the Barnstable Fair Scholarship fund with a yearly quilt raffle. The guild also donates quilts to various worthy causes on the Cape. New members are always graciously welcomed. Information provided by Kaye Schnell It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of one of our founding members, Kaye Schnell. She has been member of Hollyberry Quilters' Guild from 1985 to 2017 and contributed much to our guild. She will be missed by all. Contact Us
