The Queen City Sampler Guild is a nonprofit educational organization whose purpose is to promote the art of sampler making, both historic and contemporary, the study of sampler history, and the preservation of antique samplers. We are based in Cincinnati, Ohio, although our members are from all over the region and the country. Cincinnati is also known as The Queen City, which is how our name originated.
Upcoming Events
Our 2025 programs start on January 25th with a Zoom lecture by Claudia Dutcher Kistler on Colored Bristol Samplers. Make sure you are a member of the Guild to attend this event.
2025 is an exciting year for the guild as we will celebrate our 30th Anniversary and Paulette Stewart has designed a special piece for us! This event will occur in April.
Check the Programs Pages for the latest information. An invitation for the Zoom stitch-ins and meetings will be sent to all guild members. Zoom stitch-ins are held the first Wednesday and the third Thursday of every month and run from 7-11pm Eastern Time. The January 2025 Wednesday zoom will be on January 8th.
Don't forgot to also check the newsletter for upcoming lectures and classes!
