About Us

On January 27, 1982, Mary Ann Massoli, Sam Robbins, and Ellen Hess invited interested area quilters to join them in organizing a new quilt guild that became Quintessential Quilters (QQ). Thirty people braved the cold to attend that first meeting held at the Ohio Federal Bank on Dublin, Ohio. In January of 1986, the group moved to The Lord of Life Lutheran Church. The guild has continued to grow, and in late 2003 moved to Mountview Baptist Church, 2140 Fishinger Road, Columbus, Ohio.

The goal of this guild is to welcome quilters of all ages and skill levels promoting quilting and providing fellowship and educational opportunities for its members.

Over the years, the guild has made many group quilts which we raffle and donate a portion of the proceeds to a local or national charity. QQ also has had an ongoing relationship with "Choices" a local women's domestic abuse shelter. Since 1995, more than 130 quilts have been made and given to individuals who seek this shelter's assistance.

The members of QQ organized and presented their first quilt show in October 1999. Our second show was held in June 2002 at the Liberty Presbyterian Church, north of Powell. We plan to present more show in the future.
