QCNYS was founded in 1986 

• to foster and promote knowledge and participation in all forms and aspects of quilt making.
• to act as an information network for quilt guilds with similar objectives in promoting interest in quilt making.
• to readily inform quilt guilds and individual members of resources available to them.
• to foster education through the cooperative sharing of speakers, teachers and programs.

Our primary goal is to be a source of information for our members. To provide a venue for sharing program ideas and expenses for our programs; a source of vendor information for quilt shows; a means to advertise your organization quilting events; a forum to discuss organizational problems and find solutions; and of course, a place to share our love of quilting.
