A Little History

The Nine Patchers Quilt Guild started in 1988 with a group of nine ladies. The Nine Patchers got together to share a love of quilting. The original members started meeting in one another's homes; then in 1989 they moved to the Hardin County Extension Office for more room since the membership was growing. In April 2007, the Nine Patchers moved to the meetings to Nolin RECC.
