Perth Modern Quilt Guild: meets monthly to quilt, sew, socialise and share their ‘quilting obsession’. In between meetings they share a love of modern fabrics and quilting online through various social media forums. http://perthmodernquiltguild.com

The Quilt Study and Textile Group of Western Australia (QTSGWA) aims to provide opportunities to view, examine and discuss the construction and merits of a range of textiles including old and contemporary quilts, clothing/costumes and accessories, household textiles and textile based art work. 

The members meet every 2 months (March to November), usually on a Saturday afternoon to either hear a guest speaker, visit an exhibition or a museum collection, or visit the studio of a local textile artist and/or quilt maker.
