Membership
Quilters by the Sea, Inc. (QBS) is always welcoming new members. We enjoy having members of all different skill levels from beginner to expert. Annual dues are currently $40 per year and are payable in September by cash, check, or credit card.
Dues must be paid in full in order to display a quilt in the guild’s biennial quilt show (next show is in 2027). Dues help to pay for guest speakers at our monthly meetings, the biennial quilt show, and help support other charitable organizations such as the New England Quilt Museum. See the QBS Revised and Amended By-laws for more information about our structure and by-laws.
To join, please download the QBS New Membership Application and pay by cash/credit card in person at a meeting or return it with a check to:
