Sunshine State Quilters Association is about folks who love to quilt, to listen & learn & teach, to show & tell, to buy (and sell) quilting fabric and unique quilt tools. That is why we meet!

And we welcome all quilters to attend SSQA meetings in Florida. (Founder's Thoughts)

Do you love quilting? Can't get enough? Already belong to a guild (or not)? Yearn to know more, see more, hear more about quilting? Meet others who share your love?

Join SSQA! It's a contemporary quilting bee. Read about "what our founders were thinking" when they were forming SSQA. Meetings are held 3-4 times a year, in different Florida cities. By attending meetings you get to know other quilters. By traveling to other cities, you will get to know Florida.

SSQA publishes 3-4 newsletters each year and a directory that includes teachers, vendors and guilds. Annual dues are only $25.00; for guilds and vendors, dues are $22.00. Each SSQA meeting features Classes * Luncheon * Business Meeting * Show & Tell * A Featured Speaker * Vendors! Meeting cost is $20.00, which includes lunch & class. Our meetings pulse with activity as we mingle and talk about our quilts, about skills, new techniques, helpful tools, and great fabric!

SSQA is about touching threads from the past - And about stitching together a foundation for 21st century quilting. This is quilting unlimited. It is about the depth & variety in all the quilting you love!
